The Conference took place on the premises of an English medium school owned by the Anglican Church.
An uncle (Dad 's cousin) founded this school years ago. He left to start his own school and migrated to the USA after retirement.
It was built during the British Raj
This is is the modern school hall .
We had our meetings in the nursery cafeteria
Behind the school is this

My parents were co-founders of the UPEGF.
The conference organizers wanted my mother to come for at least one session, but she could not make it,so a group of them
came to visit her at home today after the conference was over.
We had a time of re-counting old times and a visiting pastor prayed for us.

Wonderful, wonderful pictures! Everyone one of them is a joy to see, and I especially loved the one with hands raised in worship!
Nice, nice, nice! What a blessing to see from your pictures such a conference for the work of Christ. How nice of some of the members to visit your mom. Thanks for sharing the great photos of those lovely children. Great smiles for God!
Such great pictures and fantastic shots to commemorate your conference. I hope it was a huge success. Thanks for the post and the photos. God bless you and your loved ones always.
that is a beautiful old building ... plus the new one compliments it nicely!
so glad you got to attend this!
Oh yes ..EGFs (Evangelical Graduate Fellowship)are fun and have a special place in my heart as we used to attend quite a few camps as a family..it was also the place where Prem (my brother) first saw Anju (Amrita's sister) and the rest is history!!!:)
Dear Amrita,
I am so happy for you that you were able to attend this conference. One can clearly sense the good spirit in the meetings. Hope that this may give you strength also for the time to come.
I think you should be proud that your parents have founded such a strong fellowship.
You look nice in your white garment, a true rose in Yesu' Garden.

My daughter and I truly enjoyed this post. Such a good snapshot of life in Christ there. Loved the children's photos. Such a blessing that they are involved.

Hi Amrita,looks like a wonderful time of fellowship and worship. So sorry your Mom wasn't able to attend,but it's wonderful that she was paid a respectable visit. How interesting that your parents were founders of the event.
I was blessed by this post and enjoyed the pictures very much. The children are all very precious.
Blessings,Shelley
I was happy to see you included a pic of yerself perched there on the bottom corner step! These kinds of conferences are so great to attend! Such a boost!
So Prem and Janet, the science gal, are brother and sister! Slowly I am making the connections!
You can save all the guava for a party with Jeanette! It's just too ... too ... well, too much like GUAVA for me! :) Methinks it's the texture -- kinda rough like a cat's tongue -- and those seeds!
love the photos!
How wonderful,Amrita! Especially that since your mother could not attend, they came to visit her. What a show of love and fellowship. Love all the photos. The children are beautiful. So glad that you felt renewed and refreshed. We all need such times of worship and fellowship. Oh, I love the first photo of the old part of the school. Beautiful architecture.
