Daily assembly
Now what is charity, charity is the process of a community collecting money to help
The poor, the sick, etc., or do work that is useful to society now, services is a system or organization that provides the public with what it needs
So what’s the difference between the two? Charity is raising money for people who are in poverty in contrast to service, which is usually giving your time.
Here’s an example of the two, examples of charity include giving unwanted goods to those less fortunate or visiting relatives at home when they’re sick. Examples of service include people who are waiting tables in restaurants or people who clean hotels are also examples of services
Although these two might be different in many ways they are still very important to society, Charity is important because, society and government are not designed for everyone, so that’s where charity comes it’s there to fill in the gaps by helping those that the government can’t do much for like the poverty or the sick
Services on the other hand help the economy by allowing employees to work a part-time job until they are ready to start their career and the customers who are buying that service will be paying money to buy that service leading to economic growth.

Difference between charity and service
The word ‘humane’ shows that we are social animals. Philanthropy means service to mankind. It rests on three T’s, Time, Treasure, and Talent.
Charity involves sharing and raising funds to donate books, clothes, toys, woollens to the needy. Donation of blood is a very important aspect that can save lives. If everyone gave away some things which they had excess all would be happy and contented. Being empathetic, kind, and generous are the keys to charity.
Service is to volunteer for a kind act by showcasing our talent like singing carols, playing an instrument, reading a book to someone, storytelling, and cleanliness drive. It brings smiles to others and spreads happiness.
Our culture involves charity at all festivals and celebrations. Feeding the poor, giving alms, and distributing sweets and gifts are all a part of it. It is rightly said,” The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in service of others”

The remarkable results of service and charity
Wisdom, altruism, and empathy have become an integral part of the ethos of MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul School, all thanks to a brief visit to an elderly home on the 6th of November. This meaningful excursion was led by a group of respected teachers and IB World school students. Despite the brevity of the visit, its impact was profound, leaving a lasting impression on all participants. It prompted them to reflect on their own lives and the lives of others, fostering a newfound sense of empathy among everyone.
All the students eagerly boarded buses for the trip to the elderly home, driven by their curiosity to learn more about the experiences of past generations. The visit featured heartwarming performances and generous donations after an inspiring speech by one of MIT Gurukul’s teachers. The smiles on the faces of the elderly residents revealed their satisfaction and appreciation for the students’ dedication and heartfelt performances. The students, in turn, were deeply touched by the wisdom and stories of these individuals who had faced many hardships in their lives.
In addition to the performances, students engaged in open and respectful conversations with the elderly residents, offering both respect and sympathy to those who appeared downtrodden. The connection between the young and old felt almost magical, transcending the decades that separated them. It was a reminder that, despite the age difference, they were all human beings connecting on a profound level. Adrika Sahoo shared a moving experience of conversing with an elderly woman who spoke her mother tongue, highlighting the importance of communication and understanding in bridging generational gaps.
The visit evoked a sense of compassion, although the elderly residents’ conditions were not pitiable. Many remarked on the overwhelming empathy they felt after leaving the elderly home. The experiences gained during this visit were truly transformative, instilling a new attitude within the school community — one characterized by gratitude and benevolence. Consequently, the students of MIT VGS can confidently claim that their emotional intelligence extends beyond mere sympathy to encompass the depths of empathy and compassion.

A Visit to Samarpan Old Age Home
MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul School organized a visit to Samarpan Old Age Home for its students. The students were taken there a few days before their Diwali vacation began. The purpose of this visit was to bring a smile worth more than a million dollars to the faces of the old and aged people living in Samarpan Old Age Home.
There were approximately 50 students who visited the old age home. The majority of the students at MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul School had gone on an international trip but the students who had not opted for the trip got a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with the Samarpan Old Age Home family.
The students who were present on that day belonged to the Grades from MYP-1 to DP-2. MIT VGS had arranged a short-duration dance performance with MYP-2 students for everyone. Then they also gifted them greeting cards made by their students and other essentials for the upcoming Diwali festival. A few of the old people had teary eyes filled with joy and could see their grandchildren in the place of the students.
There were more old people resting upstairs in their rooms. They could not come downstairs and witness the dance performance and receive the gifts as they were completely bedridden. But, they also had their share of joy to experience so, the senior students of MITVGS, from MYP-4 to DP-2 were allowed to meet them. There were two rooms on each floor and a kitchen and each room had two to three people resting on separate beds. Not all of them were in a condition to interact with the students but those who were willing to interact had a hearty chat with the students. This was truly a sight to cherish.
This visit to Samarpan Old Age Home lasted for almost an hour and the students returned to the school by noon.
The photos were clicked by Shaurya Raju of MYP 4.

International Trip
On the 29th of October, we kicked off our adventure in Paris. After a long flight, we dove straight into a city tour, exploring architectural wonders like the Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Palais, Champs-Elysées, Invalides, and the Opera House. The highlight of the day was a picturesque cruise along the River Seine, where we had the perfect view of the shimmering Eiffel Tower. Needless to say, I captured lots of amazing pictures!
The following day was an absolute dream for me – we went to Disneyland! We spent the entire day riding thrilling roller coasters, exploring themed lands, and meeting our favourite Disney characters. The highlight of the day was the Halloween-themed parade, which featured spooky floats and mischievous villains. It was a truly magical experience that brought back all the nostalgia of my childhood.
Our third day began early with a visit to the iconic Eiffel Tower, and we even made it to the top floor, despite the chilly weather and the slightly pricey macarons. The panoramic view was nothing short of breathtaking. We could see the entire city sprawling out before us. We then explored the Louvre Museum, marvelling at the Sphinx, historical French jewels, and, of course, the Mona Lisa. Even though two hours weren’t enough to absorb the museum’s beauty fully, it was a rich lesson in French culture and art history.
The next day, we embarked on a bus ride to Geneva, the headquarters of many international organisations. We visited the CERN exhibition centre, where we learned about the complexities of particle acceleration and quantum physics that were a bit over my head, but it was undeniably fascinating. A tour of the UN headquarters followed, offering insights into how UN meetings take place, and we also had a glimpse of the Red Cross Society building.
Our journey continued to Zurich, where we made a stop at the mesmerising Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe. After clicking hundreds of photos, we indulged our sweet tooth by visiting the Lindt Chocolate Factory. The tour provided a fascinating history of chocolates, and I’m sure everyone left the chocolate shop with lighter wallets!
The next highlight was our visit to Mt Titlis, though strong winds prevented us from reaching the topmost floor. Nevertheless, we had a blast engaging in a snow fight and watching the breathtaking snowy landscape on the cable car ride.
Our final stop was the charming town of Lucerne, where we strolled across the Chapel Bridge, a historic pedestrian bridge adorned with 17th-century paintings. We then went on a shopping spree where we found unique souvenirs and indulged in Swiss cuisine (the macarons were pretty affordable).
As our trip came to an end, we bid farewell to these enchanting places with heavy hearts. This trip was truly a dream come true. I had the opportunity to explore two of the most beautiful and exciting countries in the world. On our flight back home, we carried with us not just souvenirs and photographs, but also a treasure trove of unforgettable memories.

छात्रों की समग्र शिक्षा
स्कूली यात्राएँ छात्रों की समग्र शिक्षा में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाती हैं। ये भ्रमण छात्रों को पारंपरिक कक्षा सेटिंग से बाहर निकलने और वास्तविक दुनिया के अनुभवों से जुड़ने का एक अनूठा अवसर प्रदान करते हैं। संग्रहालयों, ऐतिहासिक स्थलों और सांस्कृतिक स्थलों का दौरा करके, छात्र स्कूल में पढ़े गए विषयों की गहरी समझ हासिल कर सकते हैं। इसके अतिरिक्त, स्कूल यात्राएँ टीम वर्क, स्वतंत्रता और सांस्कृतिक जागरूकता को प्रोत्साहित करके सामाजिक और व्यक्तिगत विकास को बढ़ावा देती हैं। वे छात्रों को एक अलग वातावरण में अपने साथियों और शिक्षकों के साथ जुड़ने का मौका भी देते हैं। कुल मिलाकर, स्कूली यात्राएँ छात्रों के क्षितिज को व्यापक बनाने, उनकी शिक्षा को बढ़ाने और स्थायी यादें बनाने में अमूल्य हैं।
एमआईटी विश्वशांति गुरुकुल द्वारा 29 अक्टूबर से 6 नवंबर, 2023 तक आयोजित पेरिस और स्विट्जरलैंड की 7 दिवसीय यात्रा, सभी 123 छात्रों के लिए वास्तव में एक उल्लेखनीय अनुभव था। यात्रा कार्यक्रम रोमांचक और शैक्षिक गतिविधियों से भरा हुआ था, जो मनोरंजन और सीखने का एक आदर्श मिश्रण प्रदान करता था। . यह यात्रा हमारे लिए इन दो शानदार स्थलों की समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक विरासत और प्राकृतिक सुंदरता का पता लगाने और अनुभव करने का एक अविश्वसनीय अवसर था। यात्रा कार्यक्रम रोमांचक गतिविधियों से भरा हुआ था इससे हमें इन खूबसूरत स्थलों की समृद्ध संस्कृति और इतिहास का पता लगाने का अनुभव मिला।
यात्रा पेरिस की खोज के साथ शुरू हुई, जिसमें शहर का दौरा और एक रमणीय सीन नदी क्रूज शामिल था। नदी से एफिल टॉवर और नोट्रे-डेम कैथेड्रल जैसे पेरिस के प्रतिष्ठित स्थलों को देखना एक मंत्रमुग्ध कर देने वाला अनुभव था।
अगले दिन, हमें डिज़नीलैंड पेरिस में अपने बचपन के सपनों को फिर से जीने का अवसर मिला, जो वास्तव में एक जादुई अनुभव था। “इट्स ए स्मॉल वर्ल्ड,” “पाइरेट्स ऑफ द कैरेबियन,” और “स्पेस माउंटेन” जैसे क्लासिक आकर्षणों की सवारी ने हमें बचपन की प्यारी यादों को ताजा करने और रोमांच के रोमांच का अनुभव करने की अनुमति दी। जीवंत परेड, चमकदार शो और प्रिय डिज्नी पात्रों के साथ मुलाकात और स्वागत ने हमारी यात्रा में जादू की एक अतिरिक्त परत जोड़ दी।
. इसके अलावा, विभिन्न सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि के छात्रों के साथ बातचीत करने और डिज्नी के प्रति अपने प्यार को साझा करने के अवसर ने सौहार्द और खुशी की भावना पैदा की। यह हँसी-मज़ाक, मौज-मस्ती और बेफिक्र ख़ुशी की भावना से भरा दिन था जो अक्सर डिज़्नी से जुड़ा होता है।
कुल मिलाकर, डिज़नीलैंड पेरिस की हमारी यात्रा वास्तविकता से एक सुखद पलायन थी, जिससे हमें अपने भीतर के बच्चे को गले लगाने और पोषित यादें बनाने का मौका मिला जो जीवन भर हमारे साथ रहेंगी।
तीसरे दिन, हमें एफिल टॉवर देखने का सौभाग्य मिला, जो एक वास्तुशिल्प चमत्कार है जो शहर के लुभावने दृश्य पेश करता है। बाद में, हमने लौवर संग्रहालय का दौरा किया, जहां हमने मोना लिसा जैसी उत्कृष्ट कृतियों को देखा और कला और इतिहास के बारे में सीखा। एफिल टॉवर और लौवर संग्रहालय का दौरा हमारी पेरिस यात्रा का मुख्य आकर्षण था। एफिल टॉवर, जो फ्रांस का एक प्रतिष्ठित प्रतीक है, ने अपनी भव्यता और शहर के मनमोहक दृश्यों से हमें आश्चर्यचकित कर दिया। जैसे ही हम टॉवर पर चढ़े, हम पेरिस के मनोरम दृश्यों से मंत्रमुग्ध हो गए, और ऐसे उल्लेखनीय सुविधाजनक स्थान से शहर को देखना एक अवास्तविक अनुभव था। टावर की जटिल लोहे की जालीदार संरचना और इसके ऐतिहासिक महत्व ने वास्तव में इसे हम सभी के लिए एक यादगार यात्रा बना दिया।
एफिल टॉवर की हमारी यात्रा के बाद, हमें लौवर संग्रहालय की खोज करने का सौभाग्य मिला, जो दुनिया के सबसे बड़े और सबसे अधिक देखे जाने वाले संग्रहालयों में से एक है।प्रसिद्ध मोना लिसा और वीनस डी मिलो सहित लौवर की कला और कलाकृतियों के विशाल संग्रह ने हमें एक समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक अनुभव प्रदान किया। हम इतिहास के विभिन्न कालखंडों की उत्कृष्ट कृतियों की सराहना करने में सक्षम थे, और संग्रहालय की वास्तुकला और माहौल ने कला और इतिहास के लिए आश्चर्य और प्रशंसा की समग्र भावना को जोड़ा।
एफिल टॉवर और लौवर संग्रहालय दोनों ने हमें फ्रांसीसी संस्कृति, इतिहास और कलात्मक उपलब्धियों की गहरी समझ प्रदान की। इन यात्राओं ने हमें इन प्रसिद्ध स्थलों की सुंदरता और महत्व में डूबने का मौका दिया, जिससे हममें से प्रत्येक पर एक स्थायी प्रभाव पड़ा।
2 नवंबर को जिनेवा स्थानांतरित होने तक हमारी यात्रा जारी रही। वहां, हमें सीईआरएन और संयुक्त राष्ट्र मुख्यालय का दौरा करने का सौभाग्य मिला, जिससे हमें अंतरराष्ट्रीय संगठनों और उनके काम के बारे में बहुमूल्य जानकारी मिली।
संयुक्त राष्ट्र (यूएन) मुख्यालय और यूरोपीय परमाणु अनुसंधान संगठन (सीईआरएन) की हमारी यात्रा के दौरान, हमें विश्व स्तर पर दो महत्वपूर्ण संस्थानों के बारे में प्रत्यक्ष जानकारी प्राप्त करने का सौभाग्य मिला।
संयुक्त राष्ट्र मुख्यालय में, हम अंतरराष्ट्रीय शांति और सुरक्षा बनाए रखने, राष्ट्रों के बीच मैत्रीपूर्ण संबंध विकसित करने और सामाजिक प्रगति, बेहतर जीवन स्तर और मानवाधिकारों को बढ़ावा देने के लिए समर्पित एक संगठन की आंतरिक कार्यप्रणाली को देखने में सक्षम थे। हमने संयुक्त राष्ट्र की विभिन्न एजेंसियों, जैसे कि यूनिसेफ और विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन, और गरीबी, जलवायु परिवर्तन और मानवीय संकटों सहित वैश्विक चुनौतियों का समाधान करने के उनके प्रयासों के बारे में सीखा। इस अनुभव ने अंतर्राष्ट्रीय कूटनीति और बहुपक्षीय सहयोग के माध्यम से वैश्विक मुद्दों को संबोधित करने की जटिलताओं के बारे में हमारी समझ को व्यापक बनाया।
विश्व की सबसे बड़ी कण भौतिकी प्रयोगशाला CERN की हमारी यात्रा भी उतनी ही आकर्षक थी। हमें कण भौतिकी के क्षेत्र में किए जा रहे अत्याधुनिक अनुसंधान और सीईआरएन के प्रयोगों से उभरी अभूतपूर्व खोजों का पता लगाने का अवसर मिला। हमने दुनिया के सबसे शक्तिशाली कण त्वरक लार्ज हैड्रॉन कोलाइडर (एलएचसी) और प्रकृति के मूलभूत नियमों के बारे में हमारी समझ को आगे बढ़ाने में इसकी भूमिका के बारे में सीखा। सीईआरएन के वैज्ञानिक प्रयासों के पैमाने और जटिलता को देखकर हम पर गहरा प्रभाव पड़ा, जिससे ब्रह्मांड के रहस्यों और वास्तविक दुनिया की चुनौतियों से निपटने में कण भौतिकी के संभावित अनुप्रयोगों के बारे में हमारी जिज्ञासा जागृत हुई। दोनों यात्राओं ने हमें वैश्विक समुदाय के अंतर्संबंध और ब्रह्मांड के बारे में हमारी समझ को आकार देने में वैज्ञानिक अनुसंधान की महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका के लिए गहरी सराहना प्रदान की। इन अनुभवों ने न केवल हमारे शैक्षणिक ज्ञान को समृद्ध किया बल्कि हमें भविष्य के नेताओं और नवप्रवर्तकों के रूप में दुनिया पर पड़ने वाले प्रभाव पर विचार करने के लिए भी प्रेरित किया।
अगले दिन, 4 नवंबर को, हम माउंट टिट्लिस पर चढ़े, जहां हमें लुभावने मनोरम दृश्यों और बर्फ से ढकी चोटियों का अनुभव करने का रोमांच मिला। माउंट टिट्लिस की यात्रा एक सुंदर केबल कार की सवारी के साथ शुरू हुई, जिसने हमें आसपास के अल्पाइन परिदृश्य के मनोरम दृश्य प्रदान किए। जैसे ही हम ऊपर चढ़े, हम बर्फ से ढकी चोटियों, प्राचीन ग्लेशियरों और नीचे स्विस ग्रामीण इलाकों के विशाल विस्तार की सुंदरता से मंत्रमुग्ध हो गए। शिखर पर पहुंचने पर, हमारा स्वागत एक शीतकालीन वंडरलैंड ने किया। ताज़ा पहाड़ी हवा और अवलोकन डेक से मनोरम दृश्यों ने हमें आश्चर्यचकित कर दिया। हमने आल्प्स और आसपास की घाटियों की भव्यता को देखते हुए, लुभावने दृश्यों को देखा। राइन फॉल्स की हमारी यात्रा और 5 नवंबर को लिंड्ट चॉकलेट वर्ल्ड की यात्रा ने हमारी यात्रा में एक आनंददायक स्पर्श जोड़ा, जिससे हमें आश्चर्यचकित होने का मौका मिला। स्विट्जरलैंड की प्राकृतिक सुंदरता और इसकी प्रसिद्ध चॉकलेट संस्कृति का आनंद लें। छात्रों के रूप में राइन फॉल्स और लिंड्ट चॉकलेट वर्ल्ड का दौरा एक समृद्ध और आनंददायक अनुभव था। स्विट्जरलैंड में स्थित राइन फॉल्स, यूरोप का सबसे बड़ा झरना है और इसकी विस्मयकारी प्राकृतिक सुंदरता को देखकर हम सभी पर एक अमिट छाप पड़ी है। सुरम्य परिवेश की पृष्ठभूमि में गिरते पानी की विशाल शक्ति और महिमा वास्तव में लुभावनी थी। हमें झरने के करीब जाने, अपने चेहरे पर धुंध महसूस करने और पानी की गड़गड़ाहट सुनने का अवसर मिला, जो एक यादगार और गहन अनुभव बन गया।
राइन फॉल्स की अपनी यात्रा के बाद, हमें लिंड्ट चॉकलेट वर्ल्ड की खोज का आनंद मिला। मीठे स्वाद के शौकीन छात्रों के रूप में, यह यात्रा विशेष रूप से रोमांचक थी। हमने चॉकलेट बनाने के इतिहास के बारे में सीखा, कोको बीन्स की खेती से लेकर स्वादिष्ट चॉकलेट व्यंजन बनाने की जटिल प्रक्रिया तक। इंटरैक्टिव प्रदर्शनियों और प्रदर्शनों ने हमें चॉकलेट उत्पादन की कला और विज्ञान के बारे में गहरी सराहना हासिल करने की अनुमति दी। बेशक, सबसे अच्छी बात स्वादिष्ट नमूनों का आनंद लेना और लिंड्ट चॉकलेट के समृद्ध, मखमली स्वाद का प्रत्यक्ष अनुभव करना था। पूरी यात्रा के दौरान, शिक्षकों ने हर समूह को बनाए रखने और व्यवस्थित करने में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई। उनकी कड़ी मेहनत और समर्पण ने सुनिश्चित किया कि प्रत्येक छात्र को एक सुरक्षित और सुखद अनुभव मिले। उन्होंने सावधानीपूर्वक यात्रा कार्यक्रम की योजना बनाई, लॉजिस्टिक्स का प्रबंधन किया और हम सभी को मार्गदर्शन और सहायता प्रदान की। उनके प्रयास सराहनीय थे, और हम इस यात्रा को यादगार बनाने के लिए उनकी प्रतिबद्धता के लिए आभारी हैं। मैं हमारे समन्वयक, अर्पित शर्मा और जया शाही को विशेष धन्यवाद देना चाहती हूं, यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए उनकी अटूट प्रतिबद्धता के लिए कि हमारी यात्रा में कोई कमी नहीं है। परिपूर्ण का. उनकी कड़ी मेहनत ने वास्तव में इस यात्रा को हम सभी के लिए एक अविस्मरणीय और सहज अनुभव बना दिया। एक छात्रl के रूप में, मैं इस समृद्ध यात्रा में भाग लेने के अवसर के लिए आभारी हूं। इस यात्रा से प्राप्त यादें और ज्ञान निस्संदेह मेरे व्यक्तिगत और शैक्षणिक विकास पर स्थायी प्रभाव छोड़ेंगे। मैं इस तरह के यादगार और शैक्षिक अनुभव के आयोजन के लिए स्कूल और शिक्षकों की हार्दिक सराहना कर्ति हूं। हम इतिहास, कला और वैश्विक सहयोग के महत्व की गहरी समझ के साथ घर लौटे।

ISSO National Games
I was selected to represent MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul Archery recurve bow under the 14 category. Due to Diwali vacations, I couldn’t practice up to the mark and till 23 November the day before ISSO was held, I was underconfident, nervous, and doubted myself. But with the help and encouragement from my family and archery coach, I performed well in the ISSO held on 24 November under the 14 category secured second place, and went home with a Silver medal.

Ethics Olympiad
Ten students from MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul showcased their intellectual prowess at the Ethics Olympiad 2022–2023 on November 28. Prepared diligently over a month, participants from Middle Year Programs 4 and 5 engaged in ethical discussions during the day-long event, featuring a practice heat and three scored rounds. The Olympiad not only emphasises academic excellence but also serves as a platform for fostering unity among schools and encouraging diverse perspectives. Undeterred by challenges, our students secured 1st and 3rd positions in the middle school category, a testament to their unwavering commitment and insightful contributions. MIT Vishwashanti Gurukul takes pride in nurturing individuals who embody values of integrity and critical thinking. We express gratitude to the Ethics Olympiad organisers, anticipating continued growth and ethical exploration in the future.
