We found this moment a kind of reunion for the people who ever got education through the mission work of the sisters in the past (School, boarding house and Nursing care). Sr. Jacqueline who is in charge for the museum and archives had arranged an exhibition room about the mission work of community in the past. It was very interesting one.

Beside the open day for the convent, the sisters also held a kind of fancy fair to help the people in Malawi due to the nature disaster (water flooding).
