I write with reference to a few recent editions and news items within AV. Firstly I refer to Sri Alpesh Patel for his comments on the Youth and their 'O' and 'A' levels and especially the immigrant children who DO work hard and push and push. It is the nature of the 'underdog'.
I note that AV has organised the Saraswati Sanman - Educational Awards; I am sure this will honour and benefit a great number of children over the years. I hope it goes from strength to strength. With the cost of education which is colossal and becoming more costly, this award will help. I also congratulate the organisers of Sparkhill Gujarati school. Long may it continue. Alas a school I helped had to close a few years ago after some 27 years of service to educate and to help make a better and a learned society we now call home. Schools are just a start to a path of lifelong learning. Humanity is everything.
