Francis at the Holy Angels Church in Kalamassery. Rev. Fr.

PARENTS & TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
First Meeting of 2011-2012
Friday 14th October @ 3.00 PM
It is by now a regularly expected and accepted way of the Little Flower Engineering Institute that all in the best interest of the trainees there are some pragramme or the other planned by the management and faculty on a weekly basis if not more frequently. The PTA meeting is very important to LFEI hence coinciding with the notification of the Kerala Govt. Department of Education for ITI's official closing date for Admissions for the academic year 2011-2012, LFEI planned the first general interactive meeting of the Parents & Teachers Association, today. It was an enthusaistic gathering from the outset and a good indication of positive interest from the parents to spare their time for their son's and daughter's career development.
A few images of the day are posted below by the kind courtesy of one of LFEI's ever-willing official amateur lensemen Mr. Don - Senior Electronics Mechanic Trainee.

A grand banquet was spread for all the guests at the end of the function. Earlier, since the previous night, LFEI Team worked enthusistically throughout the night to come up with a brilliantly decorated stage and auditorium, providing joyful ambience. Below are few images through the kind courtesy of LFEI's official amateur lensemen Mr. Don and Mr. Stanley. Happy Feast to the entire Little Flower community :) :) :)

Friday & Saturday 16th - 17th September 2011
For Heads of Institutions of South Central Region
@ POC Kakkanadu, Ernakulam, Kerala.
Day-Two of the SKIP organised HIV-AIDS Awareness Workshop was an enjoyable experience. The programme started in the morning at Pastoral Orientation Centre (POC) and then culminated into a tour to the entire LFEI Campus at Kalamassery. Refreshments were served in the new Sapphire Conference Centre with a familiarisation demo of the Wi-Fi connected to Internet and fully computerised Hi-End Interactive Smart-Board by Rev. Fr. Joby Aseethuparambil. A screening of an emotionally stirring motion picture on the rewards of adopting a 'Mentor-Mentee' methodology between Teachers-n-Trainees was a defining moment of this Seminar. The SKIP delegates returned to POC for a decent home-style cooked lunch which then followed by a special boat ride in the inland-waters of Kochi right upto the mouth of the Arabian Sea affording a brilliant view of the bustling activities in and around the Vallaarpadam Container Trans-Shipment Terminal, Bogatty Islands and scenic regions of the GIDA development area. The highly experienced delegates were full of praise for LFEI's vision and professionalism towards an agenda of measurable progress. A couple of hours of recreational unwinding and tour of Ernakulam readied the outstation members to commence their return journey. A few images from the happy moments of a fruitful Two day experience in Kochi are posted below...
