Handed over the tool kit for mechanic | Syed (22 years, Bidar- North Karnataka)

 Dear Antony, Jithesh

Greetings of peace and joy from Fr. Wilfred.

With gratitude I thank you sincerely for helping to buy a mechanic toolbox. On behalf of him I thank you sincerely for doing the needful. 

As I had said that 5000 would be sufficient to buy toolkit. But it went up to 9260.00. Syed gaus said that he would also spend rest of the amount on his own to buy a better one.

Once again I thank you very sincerely for doing the needful. My prayers and support are always with you.

Thanking you

Fr. Wilfred Naveen D'Silva

 

 

Tool kit for mechanic | Syed (22 years, Bidar- North Karnataka)

 Please find a request from Fr Wilfred (Bidar)

Dear Antony

 

Greetings of peace and joy from Fr. Wilfred Naveen.

Since I have been rendering my service in the school and as I take care of school buses. I came across a 22 year old young man, who has been working under someone as a mechanic. His name is Syed Gaus who has to take care of his family. He is the second son and his elder sister is married.

I found him as a skilled mechanic and if he begins all by himself as free lancing he can earn little more. 

As for now he has been drawing the salary of 7 thousand per month. If he starts all by his own, he may be great support to his family.

Bidar house construction | Letter and account details from Fr Wilfred

 

Dear Antony and Friends,

Perfect is the word that comes to mind when I try to describe your love and support towards building of this house of a widow. I don’t think I myself even could have done anything better. Only someone with great taste will be able to do what our Lord has called us to do so. Your generosity is as great as your sense of style.

These are the words of Shobavathi,l who has been helped by you all. “it was my hearts desire to build for me a house, but when I used to look at my situation where I could not manage my daily food, I used to question God why at all you gave me a birth. But my God did not leave me. He gave me a shelter to live. I am thankful to all those who have supported me to build the house. I would never forget till my death the help that I have received from all.” I have drafted as it is the words of her without any exaggeration.

Bidar house construction | Keys handed over to Shobavati

We handed over the keys to Shobavati in May itself even though painting/plumbing/electrical work etc were not complete, as she (a widow) and her son were staying in a temporary shed. More over, second wave of pandemic had started by then and we wanted them to move to a safe place before the rainy season.  I thought of sending the updates only after all the work is completed and hence the delay. All the remaining work got completed only by end of June , thanks to the lock down.

Covid care | Oxygen concentrator for a Public Health Center (PHC) at Vazhathope panchayath (Idukki)

House construction for a widow (Shobavati) | Bidar Karnataka

Shobavati is a widow and she is working as a helper (aaya ) in a school in Bidar (north Karnataka). Currently she is staying in a small shed made of tin sheet. She has two children, 20 year old girl (already married) and 9 year old boy (3rd standard and studying in the same school).  Her husband died 5 years back because of heart attack. Here's few pics of her house and the school (Anugraha school, Bidar) where she is working.

 

Fund raising request | Marriage expense for Jermaine (Akashaparavakal)

As I mentioned in one of the earlier post ,  Akashaparavakal's responsibilities are not just limited to taking care of the mentally challenged women who are picked up from the streets, they also take care of the children of these women. 

Jermaine came to Akashaparavakal when she was 2 or 3 years old along with her mentally ill mother many years back.  She was given proper education and bought up by Akashaparavakal since then. We noticed her the very first time itself when we went to Akashaparavakal couple of years back as she was enthusiastically running around to do the daily chores at the Ashram. She has a special knack in dealing with the in mates there and we have always felt that each of the women there have a special bonding with her. 

Completed | House construction @ New Moskuli (Assam)

Second house construction in Assam was completed in Oct 2020 and keys were handed over in last week of October 2020 itself.  Sorry for the delay in posting this.
