The special children with the help of their teachers created some unique display of their creations depicting their daily life activities, Music, Art and Craft, Nature, food habits, food nutrients etc which won the admiration of all who visited the exhibition.

Gracian Sequiera after cutting the ribbon, addressed the gathering and said, "This is a very good initiative taken by these special children in bringing out their creative talents and showing them to others. It's nice to see that these children, although they are differently-abled, have unleashed their talents and creativity with the help of their dedicated teachers and support from their parents in arranging this project on diversity. May God bless these special children, their teachers and parents". As a mark of appreciation and gratitude, the students of SASS offered a flower plant to the chief guest as a mark of gesture for the great service Col. Gracian Sequiera has rendered in various parts of the Country.

Later the chief guest along with school principal, Sr. Shruthi, Mrs. Irene Pinto, President of PTA and the others went round to see the various exhibits and enjoyed the unique creations of these special children which led to many "Wows". A big crowd of parents, teachers and students of nearby schools and the well wishers of the school visited the exhibition and all who visited, at the end, had a word of appreciation to the management, dedicated staff and students of St Agnes Special School and a sense of awe at the creative talents of these special children.

It was indeed a unique "Kalika Sambrama-2025" by these special kids, bringing awareness about Diversity. May these differently-abled children be blessed by God and may the efforts of the principal, staff and parents to make a difference in the society by bringing out the best in these special children, receive all support from the people of good will.
