It is the end of the academic year for our children with the completion of the
Intermediate College and University level exams. All the boys revised well and
Intermediate College and University level exams. All the boys revised well and
appeared in their respective exams.
They could now relax so the Director decided to send all the boys for an outing.
He discussed with the college boys and finally the plan was agreed. They decided that they would like to go to Visakhapatnam.
On 6th April all boys were ready to go for their outing. Boys from Shanti Nivas and the Rainbow Boy's Home,a total of 13 boys. The Director personally arranged a cab for them. All the boys, along with House Father, Mr Apalnaidu, started at 7.00 in the morning after breakfast.
They planned to visit Kailashgiri first, It is a wonderful spot on the top of a hill. The view below them, of the Bay of Bengal and the entire city of Visakhapatnam,. is amazing, like wow....
The boys roamed around the hill parkland, having snacks and buying drinks, up to midday.

They had their lunch which they had carried with them from their respective homes.

All enjoyed the small feast of Pilihora ( typical south Indian flavoured rice with tamarind and peanuts), potato curry, boiled egg and bananas.
After lunch they left Kailashgiri to go to Vuda Park. Vuda Park is situated at sea level on the edge of the Bay of Bengal. There are lots of slides, climbing frames and scrambling nets plus a small boating lake where pedal boats may be hired. The boys played cricket and had ice-creams to beat the scorching heat.

After a time in the sea they played a chasing game called Kabadi. All their energy was drained so to regain energy they all had drinks and snacks and started to play again.

At around 6pm they started to return home via the wonderful scenic marine drive of 35 km from Visag to Bheemali. They reached home at 7.30pm. All had enjoyed their outing after the weeks of revision for their exams.
They showed some photos of their trip to the Director and thanked him for a nice outing.
