Whispering Hope is 7 today!

Yippee! My baby Whispering Hope is 7 years old today! Its a lovely morning and I pray that all of my family, my friends, my sponsors and well wishers be blessed abundantly by our Lord Jesus Christ in whose name miracles happen. While my charity works have been going on for the last 15 years, it was christened Whispering Hope on the 8 December 2007.

A Christmas Celebration - 7 Dec 2014

When the Brilliant Bakes (Ashley & Helen and their son David & his wife Malka) and the Awesome Alves (Andy & Anita) from Sydney decide its time to help the poor through Whispering Hope, we can expect a multitude of stars to light up the lives of the poor. On this occasion, Whispering Hope under the guiding hand of Rev. Fr. Arockiasamy held a Thanksgiving Mass for these sponsors and their families at a little church dedicated to Christ the King, in Alampuram, West Godavari District. A colourful carpet was gifted to this humble church to mark the 2nd Sunday of Advent and snack packs distributed to the faithful gathered there. From there we moved onto the premises of St. Mary's School where the hostel boys gave us a hearty welcome and a variety entertainment which kept us amused. Santa also made his appearance delighting the kids gathered there. Speeches, thank you's, dancing, fun and games kept us busy most part of the afternoon. After this a sumptious lunch with palav and chicken being the main course, was served and I am now told that the number of people who were fed were 186 at the final count! Imagine that! Isnt that wonderful? I take this opportunity to thank our sponsors, Ashley & Helen, David & Malka, Andy & Anita from Sydney and Guruvaiah and Ramesh from Guntur for their contributions which made this event a memorable one, not only for Whispering Hope but also for the parishioners of Alampuram and the hostel boys. Surprisingly all the sponsors have sons and most of our guests were boys! This event seemed to have ended on a perfect note. I would also like to thank Rev. Fr. Arockiasamy and his team for giving us this opportunity to serve and also Rev. Sisters Mary Mathew and Subha for gracing this occasion with their presence. Our photo album has the story in pictures.
