Mothers are a priceless gift from God, an exquisite blend of love, devotion, and sacrifice. The bond between a mother and her child transcends words. Aspire Indian International School (AIIS) celebrated Mother’s Day with unparalleled zeal and exuberance on Monday, May 13, 2024.
The day's festivities commenced with a soulful rendition of the Holy Quran, followed by a reverent salutation, the stirring notes of the Kuwait National Anthem, and the heartfelt School Prayer. The program was inaugurated with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp by the esteemed chief guest, Ms. Stephanie Mathew, Head of Sustainability and Strategic Growth at AIIS, in the distinguished company of the school Principal, Ms. Geetika Ahuja, and the program coordinator, Ms. Helen.
In her address, the Principal extended a warm welcome to the esteemed assembly of mothers. She eloquently articulated the profound notion that God, in His infinite wisdom, chose to manifest life through the essence of motherhood. She added that a mother is the epitome of selflessness, placing her children above all worldly concerns.
