We were elated to see our Project Club Philately in the national Newspaper "The Hindu Young World "dated 24th Mar2009.
In a very short time since the project started, we were proud to organize an exhibition of our own collection of philatelic items. All the events before and after the exhibition were taken up by us ourselves under the guidance of our project coach. Apart from the facts that we have learnt from the stamps we have learnt to work on short notice, take up responsibilities and have learnt to organize events.

It was easy for us to work together as we all are from the same class. All of us come from different family and religious background but that was never obvious in the team spirit we had .Each of us have a very distinct quality that helped in many ways.
- Juvin-very sincere, obedient and hardworking.
- Saurabh-has a lot of patience, good at making presentations.
- Adarsh- creative writer his motto-"A Pen is mightier than a sword".
- Nimisha-owner of a treasure of philatelic items.
- Harish-content gatherer, voracious reader .
All our research findings, survey reports, report on visits, pictures, information gathered from various people and technology we learnt, went into making of this site. We divided the work among us and finally we put everything together. We also gathered a lot of information during our out of the school activities. It was fun doing all the activities of the project especially the exhibition. We had to face a lot of difficulties while designing, making and uploading the site. Our session ending exams came in between that was unavoidable. Most of our parents restrict the use of internet at home that made the work a lot more difficult. But we compensated that by coming to school on holidays. The project was the brain child of our project coach. She is a very creative person her creativity with stamps, ideas and the knowledge on technology helped us greatly in the entire project. Our assistant coach helped us by giving her precious stamp collection. She has a rich collection of hundreds of stamps. Twice a winner of Philatelic competition she was a right person to guide us. Thus the vision of making a website on philately came true.
