As part of SUPW, the product we prepared were soaps for the service work. For that, we selected some needy students from the near school and organized a program on 29 November 2019. I welcomed the students, teachers, and my friends to the program. Riju sir, Leena miss, Sivapriya miss, and Thushara miss distributed the soap to students. While giving the soap to them, we saw the smiling faces. It was an unforgettable moment to inspire us to do something more for the needy people in the society.

Koattraka Thampuran Museum of classical art is also known as Kottarkara Kathakali Museum. It was established at the birthplace of Kottarakra Thampuran. The museum started in 1983. There are five galleries in the museum -Hand gestures Gallery, Kathakali costumes Gallery, Coin Gallery, Sculpture Gallery, and Megalithic Gallery. The museum may be shifted to Veluthampy Dalava Museum, Mannadi in the future. I felt very proud while visiting the museum because it was from the same place where the great art form 'Kathakali' was born. These experiences created to continue a lifelong love for art.

Christy taught bottle craft, where Kripa taught flower making using tissue and organdy cloth. Ahalya taught to make a mat with saree.
