What we did….

Whispering Hope has pleasure in providing you with a brief on what was achieved in the past few years. Our ‘little ways’ were instrumental in reaching out and offering comfort and solace to those who were in need at that moment.

For the increase in Faith
Pilgrimages to various shrines in Tamilnadu were conducted on a regular basis. Special attention was given to senior citizens and family groups to ensure that they were comfortable and their lives enriched by visits to these holy places.

For the Children
Since 2002, we have been instrumental in helping children with school fees, books, stationery, uniforms, shoes, etc.
A special treat was given to 45 street children and Thomas, a physically challenged young man, who took it upon himself to give free tuition to these children. He used to teach these youngsters under a street light. We organized a high tea and then distributed a school bag filled with goodies for each child. A little cash gift for Thomas for his marvelous contribution to society and the dedication displayed.
Periodic visits were undertaken to the Love Care Centre - an orphanage, and Arunima – a home for prisoners’ children, where we spent time with the children, giving them a good meal and little treats to brighten up their day.
Picnics and movies, ice cream and balloons, fire crackers and fun games were given in large doses to the many children that we came across from time to time.

For the Women
Saris were presented to the village women at St. Jude’s Shrine, Kattur. (While this program was being conducted, the devastating and disastrous Tsunami hit the shores of Chennai and elsewhere in December 2004).
50 pairs of footwear were provided to women and their children.
Pension is being distributed to three ladies – we hope to increase the number of women and the amount in the coming months.

For the Tsunami relief work
Conveyance was provided for the tsunami relief work undertaken by St. Joseph’s Church, Vepery, Chennai.
Financial aid received from Ranji, UK, was given to the Nagle Health Centre at Colachel, Kanyakumari.

Medical Aid
Financial assistance was given to the distraught when their loved ones were in hospital or in need of medicines.
