An exclusive exposure visit was organised from 11th August to 13th August at Shantiniketan. It was a great learning experience and a memorable exposure for the entire KMWSC Team. KMWSC Team got an exposure during the visit. The team reached Shantiniketan and boarded the hotel Whispering Woods.
Sister Edeline welcomed everyone at the onset of the session and lead the programme with a prayer.The session on Anti Human Trafficking conference helped the KMWSC team understand the horizons of the Conference and the assigned duties and responsibilities for the Conference.A meeting on HR policy gave the team a thorough insight in understanding the functioning of the organization.
The second day of the programme was organized such a way that the KMWSC staff would get a general awareness about how the harmony & peace were derived through Yoga.The resource person disseminated the awareness of Yoga amongst the staff by explaining the Yogic practices to orient one towards comprehensive health for an individual and the community.The staff appreciated the valuable lessons of Yoga and vowed to follow the same for a harmonious coexistence.
Next session was that of Guided visualization which was used to find that place within themselves where the participants were in touch with their intuition. Through images and sometimes feelings or thoughts that come up for them, and through visualizing childhood memories the team was in a way able to answers to questions they had been struggling to resolve within their conscious minds.

The iciing on the cake was the second day visit to Rabindranath Tagore museum.The entire team went through the life journey of National Poet Rabindranath Tagore.The visit to the Museum was a delightful experience. Rabindra Bhavan was established in Santiniketan in 1942, which stands on the shores of the River Kopai in West Bengal’s Birbhum District.
Santiniketan houses the International University of Viswa Bharati, the foundation of which was laid by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore as a platform where the cultures of the east would meet the west.The memories of this Nobel Laureate with his personal, books, photographs and voice records were all displayed in Rabindra Bhawan.
