Joint Meeting of KLC and Global Members on leave: This was held at 5 pm on Friday, the 18^th of January 2013 at the St. Thomas L.P. School. Arrangements for the next two days program were evaluated and corrective measures were taken. Assignment of various tasks of both days was also completed. Both KLC and Global Members were enthusiastic in seeing the pre-arrangements satisfactory.

WINGS 1 – Saturday 19^th January 2013: 34 of the 35 registered students reported on time. After marking the attendance both the students and parents proceeded to the dining hall for breakfast. Sharp at 8.45 am KOSS Global President Shri. Babu Panamthundil hoisted the WINGS flag in presence of the Vicar of St. Thomas Church, Sisters of the Bethany Madom, Sister Angel the headmistress of the School, KLC members, Ex KOSS President Shri C.K.C Kurup and other KOSS officials.

Dr. John Panackel led the first session on ‘Teens’ Tip’. There was a break of 15 minutes at 10.45 am. By the time Shri. B.S. Warrier arrived from Kochi along with his wife. He led the second session on ‘Career Selection Techniques.’ There was a lunch break from 1 pm to 1.30 pm and all present were served with delicious lunch. The after session on ‘Ideal family’ was by Col. R.G. Nair from Trivandrum. At 3.45, students were divided in to 4 batches and 4 counsellors from Kottayam addressed each batch and presented their counselling schedule on the following Saturdays.

All the three sessions were interesting and we ensured maximum participation from students and parents. At 4.30 tea and snacks were served and WINGS 1 got concluded successfully. There were individual counsellings for each student along with parents on 26^th January, 2^nd February and 9^th February. 32 of the 34 students attended the counselling and found it very useful. Counsellors reported that 7 of the students need follow-up counselling. We have arranged the follow up counselling for these 7 students along with the 2 absentees of the previous counselling (total 9) on the coming Saturday, the 23^rd of February 2013.

General Body at 12.00 noon on Sunday, the 20^th of January 2013: Around 140 people were present in the general body which was presided over by the President of KOSS Global.

As per this project a Kaineetam of Rs 1000 will be given on the 1^st day of every month to the deserving sick people to manage their monthly medicine. 14 of the participants willingly offered themselves to be part of this prestigious project which was applauded by all present in the meeting. We need more voluntary offers from you all to make it a grand success. The General Body was over by 1.45 pm with a lunch.
