The patron saint of the youth St. Vincent De Paul was a pioneer who was well concerned of the uplift the poor and the downtrodden. The interest shown by this group should be an encouragement for others in helping the needy students. One can assist not only financially but sharing all other talents such as knowledge, time etc. can also be shared for the uplift of the poor and to educate intelligent poor students to compete in the society and teach to accept what is good and reject what is bad for the community,
