Madhu Kohli, director of South Point School, while welcoming the gathering, thanked India Post for giving the children an opportunity to experience first-hand the process of penning a letter and posting it themselves as well as to see them get delivered back at home. This will also allow them to preserve the commemorative stamp. The letters will draw smiles and invoke memories of the school, even decades into the future.
