During our pilgrimage to Velankanni, Whispering Hope took some time out to visit the orphanage run by a group called Velankanni Helping Hands. These children were left desolate after the tsunami and Mr. Antony Franklin Jayaraj took pity on them and brought them under his wing. With a few friends to help out and the untiring effort of a young lady from Switzerland, he now shelters about 17 children. Take a look at the photos in our album.
A big Thanks goes out to Miss Fenella Patterson who sponsored a Sunday lunch - we hope the kids enjoyed their chicken.
The kids were so talented and already have their aims in life all set. From doctors and nurses, to engineers and scientists, these kids know what they want!
What made me happy was seeing the joy and thrill on their little faces when they were given a chocolate. The five Rupee 5 Star chocolate had them drooling and a couple of the kids piped up and said that 'no one ever gave us chocolate'. A big Dairy Milk chocolate for these kiddos for sure when I visit Velankanni next time! And that's a promise!
