And the feeding continues...!

Our next session was on the 27th November at Obul-naidu-palem, a village located about 20 kilometers away from Guntur.  Here again, we hosted a grand dinner for around 80 people after a prayer session conducted by Mr. Abraham.  Buns and cup cakes were distributed to the women and children and everyone tucked into the hearty meal provided - Palav, chicken curry, gongura, raita and pineapple kesari - being the staple traditional festive meal in these parts of the country.  Check out our photos alongside.

Ho, Ho, Ho...Let the Festivities begin....

The 25th of November - the count down begins for that special date 25th of December and all of a sudden its CHRISTMAS! 

'Feeding the poor' being the theme this year, Whispering Hope started the ball rolling for a group of slum dwellers in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh.  Mr. Praveen conducts weekly prayer sessions for these people at his prayer hall in Sai Baba Colony, Guntur.  The people were happy to have us with them and after a small prayer session which included a lot of singing, a Christmas message was imparted to them by the vivacious Dr. Patricia.  While Mr. Suresh strummed his guitar melodiously,  English carols were sung with much gusto by Dr. Patricia and her charming daughter Priyansha.  This set the mood and it was an early Christmas for all of us gathered here.  Goody bags were distributed and a delicious dinner was served for around 80 people.  Our photos tell their own story.

Dr. Patricia runs a missionary hospital in Guntur where treatment is either provided free or at nominal costs to the poor.  She can be contacted on +91 863 2332331.
