We are so thankful to the Lord, for His grace was sufficient for
us throughout this month.

• On the very first day of this month Miss Melissa from Mexico left Salem after her two week’s stay at ICMC. Her visit was a fruitful one to our children.

• On the 3^rd of October all the schools were reopened after quarterly holidays. Quarterly exam results were published. Most of our children did fairly well in their exams. S.Senthilkumar (who got first at our St. Basil Matriculation School) gets first rank in his 11^th grade in another external school too. Really we are proud of him.

to our Mission without which nothing could be achieved.
