🌍✨ International Collaboration with a School in Uganda – An Online RIDS Activity ✨🌍

What an incredible opportunity for the students of Classes 1 and 2 at Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School, Barrackpore!

As part of the *Recognition of International Dimension in Schools (RIDS)—a prestigious accreditation and certification programme by the British Council* —our young learners connected with students from *Bridge Christian Initiative School, Uganda* to explore the fascinating world of animals.

Through confident speeches, creative headgears, masks, worksheets, and drawings, the children shared their research on Indian, Qatari, and Ugandan animals, celebrating learning, creativity, cultural exchange, and global friendship.

Celebrating the cherished tradition of Jamai Sasthi, a beautiful occasion that honours family bonds, love, respect, and togetherness.

Rooted in Bengali culture, this special day symbolizes the affection of a mother towards her son-in-law and the strengthening of family relationships across generations.

May this auspicious occasion bring happiness, prosperity, good health, and countless moments of joy to every family celebrating.

Douglas Memorial Higher Secondary School wishes everyone a Happy Jamai Sasthi.
