सर्वद्रव्येषु विद्यैव द्रव्यमाहुरनुत्तमम्। अहार्यत्वादनर्घत्वादक्षयत्वाच्च सर्वदा॥

Akash worked tirelessly to make our exchange visit to Ahmedabad with MGIS a wonderfully rewarding experience. Akash is an extremely helpful and kind person. He was also instrumental in producing a book celebrating our visit. He has helped widen our international partnership by taking part in zoom meetings with myself and Hamstech photography studentd in Hyderabad. Akash is always eager and attentive. He is often the first to text or email in order to support collaborative projects. He is a quiet, humble and dignified man. We eagerly await the time when we can welcome Akash and colleagues back to Dudley. During our visit, we took away memories of Ahmedabad as Colourful and indelible as the Holi stains on our clothes. The generosity and hospitality we received from Akash was overwhelming. An action packed itinerary enabled experiences as varied as watching the washing of elephants to dancing with children in fountains. These memories though, will not be washed away! The Company's model of progressive education, global outlook, equality, kindness, drive, determination and resourcefulness act like a beacon of light in the city, leading young people safely on a truly life-changing, collaborative journey. Our students literally had the time of their lives. Shabaash! Dhanyavad! Phil
