Four groups successfully completed the Media training on 21st morning with shows of the student video productions. Ishwan Gamit sj was the chief guest to distribute the certificate to the participants.
Several social issues were taken up for the final productions and treated with creativity and commitment by the students. The social awareness instilled through several interesting activities by Mr Ratilal Jadav was very visible in the productions.
The cool climate of Saputara helped a lot to put up many hours of hard work by the participants. Gurjarvani looks forward to these young people becoming committed future communicators who will work for a better society and a better and happier world in the coming years.

A letter from Fr Pabl Gil sj from Spane on 18th May 2012
Just now I received the news that Fr. Narciso Mendiburu has expired. After our arrival in Pamplona he experienced a slight improvement. But  he had a sudden collapse and was taken to the clinic. Apparently he had  a blood clot in the brain. He got worse in the clinic and early in the morning  I got the news that he had expired. The Superior of  the Community has offered me the chance of officiating at the funeral, .I have gladly accepted the invitation.
I must say that the whole community has accompanied Mendiburu  all the time he has been here. He was visited everyday in the clinic and the nurse from the community was continuously at his service.  Everyday he had visitors in the clinic,though he could not talk.he expressed his appreciation to the visitors by crying..


 Gujarat is, of course, all the time in my thoughts. Best wishes to those around. Sincerely and gratefully

yours,

Pablo Gil S.J
