With sincere appreciation, we acknowledge the impressive achievements of our recent camp. A devoted team of medical professionals extended exceptional care to the teaching and support staff of St. Xavier's School, Sahibganj, and St. Xavier's School (Hindi Medium), Sahibganj, as well as to the students of these esteemed institutions.

We are also deeply thankful to Sister Tina, a compassionate nurse from the hospital, who selflessly volunteered her time to assist the team.

This event signifies a notable milestone as it marks the first instance of our expansion beyond our Alma Mater. We've reached out to individuals from a different school, offering valuable consultancy and support.

Building upon the foundation laid by last year's initiative, SOXA remains steadfast in its commitment to providing ongoing assistance to the staff of our Alma Mater.
