Our Story
Message from Sr. Lilly Chirayath
Jesus said, “When you do something for the least of my brethren, you do it for me”.
Children are the loveliest creation of God. They are so innocent, so unblemished, so lovely, and so marvelous. They deserve everything best in the world. They deserve love, they deserve to be happy and they deserve to be well taken care of. God entrusts them to us, elders.
But what do we see in the world? For me, a child being treated cruelly is the most painful thing in the world. The most terrible poverty is loneliness and feeling of being unwanted.
Love the children; care for the children, help the children to grow up happily, and the world will be beautiful.
When one is happy, he/ she spreads that happiness to others, to the society, to the whole world. So fill the hearts of children with love and make them fully active, creative and enthusiastic.
So we welcome you dear friends to come and join us in this noble endeavor. Good works are links that form a chain of love.
You are welcome to help us in kind and money, and also the children need your heart to love them and support them. God will reward you hundredfold; you will experience great satisfaction in your mind. The smiling face of a child is the result of your generous help.
With Love and Prayers
Yours in Jesus Christ
Sr. Lilly Chirayath C.H.F (Director)
