Mumbai, Sep 7: Rayan International Group of Institutions celebrated Teachers Day in Kandivili on Friday September 5.

Managing director Grace Pinto distributed food for 500 street kids at the St Lawrence High School Auditorium under the 'Rayan Food Bucket Campaign.'

Addressing the gathering, Grace Pinto said, "Our kids are our main guests. We have to explain to our kids about living. Helping your friend is like helping God. How we provide education for kids, we also have to provide food for the starving people. Providing hope to the world is the duty of all the teachers. Teachers should not create any kind of negative thoughts in kid's mind. The food which we do not eat is wasted, and instead of that everyone can donate food to Rayan Food Bucket Campaign. Our aim is to feed every hungry child."

General manager of Rayan Internation group of institution, Rayan A Pinto introduced the guests.

Working president Dr Agustin F Pinto explained about the food campaign. "Collecting food for the future benefits and the food which is been stored will be checked properly before distributing them. The food will be distributed by our own school students to the kids who are on the streets," he added.

Social worker Liza Samuel, Rayan Institution director Snehal Pinto, Rocky D'Souza, Prem Shetty, Juliana D'Souza, Avita D'Souza and others were present on the occasion.

Doris Raval welcomed the guests. Shibani Sharma compered the ceremony. Nethi Srinivasan proposed the vote of thanks.
