We know, of all the things that mankind has, money holds an imperative place in this materialistic world. No one out there lends a penny without any motive. We suffered the same when our town, Sahibganj, was hit by floods. Thepandemic had already swallowed the lives of the bread winners of some families. Havingno work and nowhere to go, people had resorted to working anywhere to fill their stomachs, but who knew that they hadn't seen the worst yet. In the middle of August, the monsoon came in a deluge, wreaking havoc on people, killing those who were already close to death and oppressing the oppressed.

St.Xavier's School, Sahibganj, stands out as the epitome of love and care and has done a lot for the people during the Pandemic. We had thought of helping these people who were hit by the floods, but little did we realize thespectrum of tasks to be done to provide relief to the people.

Doranda Old Xaverians along with St. Xavier's School Doranda Organized a Blood Donation camp on 26th August 2021.

We are happy to share that we collected 28 units for the Thalassemia Day care center at Sadar Hospital, Ranchi. We would like to Thank Mr. Atul Gera, DOX 1997 and Team Lifesavers for the constant support in the DOX Blood donation camps.

We would like to acknowledge the support of Father Sanjay Kerketta, Father Ignatious, Father Fuldeo Soreng, Ashish Budhia, Vishal Patodia, Abhay Sagar Minz, Sanjay Patel, Arnab Bhattacharaya , Pratyush Jha and all the DOX Members & Donors who came forward for the camp today.

Th committee of Loyola High School Alumni Association (LESA) 2019-21 had approved a project to improve and digitalise our school labs .Covid induced time delays sadly delayed this project .
Towards the end of the committee's tenure one of LESA's  wellwisher Mr. Leo Pereira from L& L builders ( who has always helped LESA in it's projects) helped us to fulfill our vision to modernise and upgrade the science laboratory and meet high standards.

We had a meeting with Fr Jimmy and decided that the labs had an urgent need for

• 10 microscopes.
• 1 high end microscope for the teachers who could update their Pcs / laptops with data .
• 3 desk top computers with UPs

Mr. Leo Pereira volunteered to sponsor those items. Today Mr Leo's son Mr. Ribeck Pereira handed over the items .

Our old commitee 2019-21 and present commitee 21-23 were present. Fr  Willy SJ graced the occasion and Fr Jimmy SJ presided over the event.

The annual APX blood donation drive was held for the 16th year in a row.

As always APX begins the new year along with the school academic year, with the AGM followed by the Blood donation drive. This noble cause is well supported by the management & staff, alumni, parents and benefactors.

We recently organised a Vaccination drive, and earlier celebrated the world environment day with a tree plantation and cleanliness drive on the campus.

Looking forward to a active year , #staysafe
