When you dream what seems to be the impossible, and God makes it possible, you can only bow your head in thanksgiving and praise the Lord as long as you live.
Ever since our first pilgrimage in August 2002, it has been a dream to take a bus load of people to Our Lady of Good Health's Shrine at Velankanni. Due to the lack of finance, it remained just that. It was my birthday in March and I decided to go for it come what may. I passed the hat around, knocked on doors, begged, borrowed and now am proud to say that my dream came true.
On the 30th June, a group of faithful people headed off to Velankanni with me leading the group. A three day stay for most of them while three families had a two day stay. A total of 12 families - to spend time together, bonding, eating, praying, playing and in general have a real good time just being together. Photos in the album alongside tell the story.
This would not have been possible, if the following people didn't help me out. I'm indebted to them for their selfless giving and standing by me all the way.

From Chennai : Divya, Nalini, Chandu, Anita, Belle, Aziz, Belinda, Chitra, Faiz Jahan, Akshita, Monica, Jennifer, Ruby, Nigel, Wayne, Wasim and Sangam Medicals
