We were shocked and saddened when the folks at Trithva Ashrama (friends and birds of the air) mentioned that there were days when they ran out of all the supplies and managed with little rice that was left over (keep in mind that they 40-45 women inmates and most of them are mentally ill).

Covered partition/room on the terrace for candle making - Akashaparavakal (Friends and Birds of the Air)
While we started the Grill work to cover the terrace of Tritva Ashram (Friends and birds of the air aka Akashaparavakal) , we were also thinking of different ways to make them self sufficient...when I discussed that with them, they said it would be good if we can create a small covered partition/room on the terrace so that they can start making candles sitting there.

Grill/Mesh to cover the terrace for Akasha Paravakal (Friends and Birds of the Air)
Sorry for the delay in sending these, actually the grill/mesh work that we did on the Ashram's terrace got completed only couple of weeks back. As I had mentioned earlier , the only open space (and the only place they get some sunlight and air) that they have in women's ashram (it's a house
with 45 people !!) is their terrace and they are not able to let the
women inmates use it as there are cases where some of them jumped from
there (these are mentally ill women) and there are cases where they threw things down from the terrace.

Friends and the Birds of the Air | Fund raising request for 'Akasaparavakalude koottukar'
Jisso had called me couple of weeks back and told me to visit this institute by name 'Akasha paravakal" when he came to know about the financial struggle that they are going through to make the ends meet . It's a place where the mentally ill street wanderers are picked up from the streets, 'the children' as they are referred here, are adopted, bathed and groomed lovingly.
