28th January 2017 is one of the special days for Kshetra School. Some distinguished guests from the USA visited the school and spent their valuable time with the management, staff and students of our school. Our students tried to show a bit of India to them through a couple of cultural programmes. Hours flew like seconds and it soon became time for them to move on to next destination on their itinerary. They must have seen many number of schools and come across thousands of students like our little ones, but the way they patted on the backs of the kids and appreciated them for every small piece of performance they tried to do... stole our hearts. Our big thanks to everyone present.
The guest were:
- Mr. Ravi Kurumety - Engineer. Currently working in IT as Chief Information Officer. He was born in Vizianagaram and emigrated to Us long back.
- Mr. David Kaplan - Attorney. He is a second generation Rotarian. His father is one of the founding members of the club in 1949
- Dr. Joy Miksic - Scientist with a PhD in BioChemistry
- Mrs. Lynn Fleisher - Attorney
- Mr. Mark Million - Financial Analyst at a very large Electricity distribution company
- Mrs. Eileen Million - Financial Services - Home Loan Officer

One of the guests Mr. Ravi Kurumety garu, on reaching the USA shared his thoughts about their visit and our school through e-mail. His words need special mention, hence I am quoting them here with his kind permission.
Kishore garu,
We returned to US on Feb 5. We all thoroughly enjoyed our trip to India. We were there just 2 short weeks but covered a lot of ground and got a chance to meet many wonderful people like yourself and got a chance to see all the great work that is being done. The biggest take aways for all of us were that there is so much need in India. However, there is also a lot of hope and optimism created by people that are eagerly engaged in helping the society around them. Kshetra School is just one example of this. We would be very interested in getting future updates as you continue to grow and improve the school.
Our best wishes for future success.
