Outreach Program at Jyoti Snehalaya, Guwahati

The M.Sc. Psychology 1st Semester students of Assam Don Bosco University, Tapesia Campus, organised an outreach program at Jyoti Snehalaya Children’s Home, Beltola, Guwahati, on 2 November 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Around 10 students from 1st semester participated in the charitable initiative, themed “Spreading Smiles, Sharing Hope: A Gesture of Love and Compassion.”
The initiative was supported through funds raised by the 1 st semester students by organising stalls on World Mental Health Day. They chose to utilise these earnings to make a meaningful contribution to the children’s home, extending the spirit of care and community engagement beyond the campus. The program was hosted by Miss Henthoisana and Mr. Himanta. It began with a Bible reading and prayer led by Miss Akumbenla. This was followed by activities coordinated by Nungsangtemjen and group singing and jamming led by Daisy Rymbai, Boethos Niksam, Talirenla,
Lallawmzuali, Sashirenla, Wezhodeu, Himanta Rabha, providing opportunities for interaction with the children. Dr. Tuyir Riba, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, shared a message with the children. The psychology students then distributed tokens of love as a gesture of affection and support. The program concluded with a benediction by Mass and a vote of thanks. The visit was an enriching experience for the students, encouraging empathy, compassion, and a deeper sense of social responsibility through meaningful community engagement.
