A Summer Treat

June is also time for a birthday party and along with the two birthday boys - Sagar & Samir (two of Whispering Hope's favourite kids) - we went to a hostel for prisoners' children.  'Arunima' is in Egmore, Chennai, and a group of nuns take good care of these children. The kids were very excited and sang the birthday song with much ardour.  Cakes and puffs were distributed to fill their little bellies.  There was song and dance and after all that the big surprise landed up - Charlie Chaplin and guess what?  This Charlie had a few magic tricks up his voluminous sleeve and had the little ones enthralled throughout his performance.  The photos alongside tell you our story. 

We gratefully thank the Sekri Foundation of Chennai for providing the delectable treats for the goody bags and Devrim Tuncay from Turkey for the colourful hand towels which were an instant hit with the kids.

Rev. Sr. Lily, who is in charge of the children could be contacted at Arunima on Tel. No. 044 28553183. 

Back to School

Come the sunny month of June and once again its time for parents to pay their children's school fees.  Thanks to our Pillars of Support, we were able to help pitch in and school fees for 6 little children were paid.  We are yet to get further details from one of the schools that we patronize and will be helping a few children there too.
