The Little Things

A packet of biscuits, a health drink, a chocolate, a pair of sandals, a train ticket, a meal or two, a helping hand when needed, a dip into the purse for some medicines or even a pair of Calipers for a polio affected young lady - Whispering Hope has been there and done that! 

We look for opportunities to do the little things because thats what pleases us the most.  It comes out of love and compassion for the needy and we are happy doing what we do best!  May God bless us with His providence to keep helping the down trodden.

De Paul Bhavan

When Cuneyt Meran and his lovely wife Beliz gave me their Baby's Pram, I had no idea where it would go.  They asked me to give it to some poor lady and her baby. But then when I found that it wouldnt be put to proper use, I checked with my aunt Jackie DCruz and she said that the De Paul Bhavan could put it to good use.  So armed with the pram, snacks and a heartful of love, my cousin Noreen Joseph and I went across to this place in Vizag along with our good friend Hari who so very kindly took us across in his fancy car!

I would say that it was a morning well spent - meeting with the Sisters who run the place, the children and the older inmates who are in one way or the other disabled.  What touched me most was despite their inabilities, they welcomed us with a warm smile and showed their affection and fondness for us visitors.  We were like members of their family.  They proudly displayed their necklaces and the Sisters told us that they were passionately fond of 'bindis' - those little red dots that are put on the forehead - and any kind of jewellery. Must make a note of that for the next visit!

Whispering Hope would like to thank Cuneyt and Beliz Meran for the pram, Paul for collecting the items off the bus, Hari for giving us a ride, Noreen for accompanying me and last but not least, Jackie for suggesting that I make a trip to this real deserving unit.  Looking forward to going there again!
