Dear friends,
Greetings. I am delighted to meet you all through this newsletter and share many works we have done so far.
Flood Disaster in Tuticorin
On December 18th, due to unexpected heavy rains in Tuticorin and Tirunelveli districts, people living in these districts were severely affected. They lost all the things in their houses. Their life has to start from the beginning. Join us and help improve their quality of life.
Dear brothers and sisters,
Greetings to you!
As 2023 ended, we remember the numerous steps we took to create impact and bring lasting changes in the community. We reached out to 347 beneficiaries and their families in 2023, bringing hope and a better future. We thank you for supporting us in achieving this and playing a valuable part in the journey.
Also, the end of 2023 brought with it damaging floods in Tuticorin and nearby districts. Many families have been hit and are starting from scratch again. Our tuition centre children and their families have been through the floods, with the waters destroying their properties. We plan to help them sustainably by providing school bags, notebooks, mats and blankets.
Please reach out if you can. Once again, thank you for your unwavering support, and wishing you and your loved ones a blessed new year!
Blessings,
Mrs.Hilda John
