1. Something Special for those with Special Needs - this event was celebrated with much gusto at the Day Care Centre run by the Guanellian priests at Sivagangai District, Madurai, on 19th December 2010. Rev Fr. Francis sent in a beautiful thank you note. Whispering Hope had sent in a contribution towards the day's festivities and a sumptious meal was enjoyed by all. A couple of photos taken on that day is displayed alongside.

2.Time Out for the little patients at the Old Cancer Institute, Adyar - 22 December 2010. What can one say about this? Our hearts go out to these little mites in various stages of this dreaded disease. Armed with loads of presents, Whispering Hope put up a little show for these young ones; a Charlie Chaplin look alike put up a little magic show which enthralled our young audience; the students of St. Mark's Matriculation School performed a couple of dances to entertain them; and then it was time for Santa Claus and ofcourse PRESENTS!! It was amazing to see the happiness and joy that we could give these kids and the gratitude received from the parents and care givers was overwhelming. Take a look at our photos which speak volumes.

3. A Christmas Party was held on the 23rd December for the children we meet from time to time. Fun, games, presents, cake - thanks to Jude Jayasingh, ice cream and more cake generously supplied by Mr. NC Williams, President of YMCA - were the basic highlights. Mr. Williams also gave us the YMCA premises to conduct this show which brightened the lives of the 180 children who popped up for it. Our photographs speak volumes about the good time had by all.

4. The Pilgrims' Progress : One fine day in early January, Rev. Fr. Gerry took a little band of elderly women for an outing. Casting aside their burdens, trials and tribulations, the 22 ladies enjoyed the time out when they visited a lot of churches in and around Chennai, and had a sumptious lunch provided by a friend. So sorry that we have no photos of this event on hand.
