To wind up in Andhra Pradesh, a lunch was hosted at home for a few poor ladies and their children on the 16th December. Cakes, goody bags, new clothes for the young girls were distributed and their every whim and fancy was catered too. Alls well that ends well and the ladies went back home chattering all the way about the good time they had.
From Andhra Pradesh, Whispering Hope moved onto its favourite place, Chennai, in Tamilnadu. With Christmas already upon us, we were not able to do much for the kids as programs were being conducted for them by other charitable sources. Instead a group of ladies were invited to a high tea and a good gossip on the 26th December. It was a family time with grandmothers, aunts, cousins, mothers, and children under one roof. The chatter, the snacks, the gifts, the Carols and the bonhomie made the guests feel very special and the true spirit of Christmas was brought alive! We would like to thank the Sekri Foundation for providing us with chocolates, biscuits, fruit juice for the kids' good bags and Complan for the old ladies. We also thank Jude Jeyasingh for another contribution of home made chocolates which was relished by all.
Back again to Andhra Pradesh, and on the 30th December, a visit to the little church in Chebrol was made. We would like to thank Dr. Anusha for the two bags of rice donated to this church (free food is given to all the pilgrims that visit this shrine by the parish priest Rev. Fr. Anthony), Jude Joshua for donating two offering collection bags for use during the mass, Mrs. Anita Mawdsley for the 100 fruit cakes for distribution at the New Year service, young Edgar Mawdsley for his cash donation (carefully put aside from his pocket money) to the parish priest.
Rev. Fr. Anthony could be contacted on +91 91 778 23947.
