From organic farming, computer & environmental studies, to feeding the poorest 100 children, we remain committed to our social responsibility. The guests are most welcome to visit the school, chat to the students, teachers and see yourself how we help our local community.

LOCAL SUPLIERS: When ever available, we purchase our vegetables and fruits from the local school garden, financially sustaining various children's programs,such as a mid day meal. From organically grown rocket, mixed and corn salad leaves to fruits such as mangoes, pineapple and bananas are purchased on the day of preparation, making a steady supply of fresh veggies and fruits to your plates. While ensuring that some of the vegetables are grown organically, at times few varieties needing a balance supply of nutrients may be subjected to non organic fertilizer although it is very minimal.
