On 18th December 2021, as Lavasa Campus celebrated Magnificat, the volunteers of CSA Project Bridge organised “Sentosa” at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Pune  Lavasa Campus for the school children of the nearby villages Dasve and Bohini. Project Bridge is an initiative of the CSA which commenced during the lockdown.
