Christopher Bourne:- St. Peter’s School, under the Diocese of Durgapur have pledge to raise funds through the sale of non – postal stamps brought out by the DWFCS. Post Offices in our Country have become redundant with the rapid growth of technology. We students today, have no need to enter a Post Office, purchase stamps required for letter writing. Most students have computers and mobiles through which short messages and mails are sent in quick time. However for the fund raising drive, one of the spare classrooms have been converted into a Post Office. Each student has been given a fund raising form with each line costing Rs. 10/- only. As and when the fund raising is completed, each student exchange their funds for non-postal stamps at the Post Office depending of on the number of lines sold. During our English classes, we write letters to our friends at the centers and hope to develop our letter writing skills which is part of our syllabus. Post boxes have been placed at each block where student drop their letters. Our letters are carried to the five Centres and hopefully we should be receiving a reply from our new pen – pals. Its great fun being involved with the under privileged children. Three cheers!!! For the ladies of the DWFCS.
