Exploring the world
The tiny tots of Swami Sant Dass Kindergarten expanded their little wings by stepping outside the classroom walls.

The trip was truly a meaningful and memorable experience as an excursion to comprehend the culture of their second home. Dr Sonia Mago encouraged this endeavour for the little ones and emphasised the need for such local trips.
