Plenty to do in Chennai!

Christmas, oh, Christmas! What a lovely time of the year, when feasting, hoping, blessings, praising God, tumble upon each other bringing with it renewed faith, joy and hope.  The birth of Christ, a season for rejoicing with family and friends, for loving and giving, for loving and sharing and most of all time, a good time for presents!

Whispering Hope received generously from its sponsors and gave generously to the less privileged. Here are some of the Chennai activities over the Christmas week.

1. Buckets of Love and goodies were distributed in and around Chennai.
2. Pressure Cookers, a non stick pan and a Food Processor were given out to known people.
3. New Clothes - still under distribution.
4. Tea party for little kids.
5. Pensions and pocket money.
6. Medical assistance.

Plenty more still to get going - so wait for it!
