Let me start this story on a very different note. I attended a funeral recently and saw a lot of people visiting the deceased person's home, And then the procession to the graveyard started. Some stayed back and some came to the graveyard. 

After prayers, the coffin was kept ready for burial and only the coffin was buried and all returned back. It is obvious that we have to return back leaving the dead body all alone! The Person when alive lived in a house full of People, a house full of food, A house full of wealth all “FULL” but now with nothing.

This thought ignited a bit of agitation within me but soon the good God pressed into my mind the fact  that this is how we came and this is how we go but for sure he was with us before and he will be with us after and also  walking with us all the time when we live. 

He has an expectation from us. He wants us to walk with people who are categorized as “LESS”.

Homeless, orphans, etc etc are temporary conditions of life that everyone goes through. And I believe that the creator has kept our home”full”, healthfull, wealthfull for a reason and that is to join hands with Him and change the “LESS” to “FULL”. In the act of filling, my experience says our store house doesn't get depleted. In Fact there is always an Increase. 

Fully understanding our role, we visited a home for children near Patancheru Hyderabad which provides various facilities and impart training to fulfill the aims and objectives to make the children  who have lost their parents to be independent and raise them to become the most respectable citizens in society. 

During this visit, our team understood that they were looking for a water purifier and therefore we decided to install a RO water purifier that comes with an additional mineral supplement cartridge..

Again on 30th of June 2022, we started around 5:30 in the morning, and we reached  the destination at 9:30. We spent time getting to know the children and their aspirations for the future. We shared some snacks and ate along with them. We had a good time talking to them, listening to them and the interaction opened our eyes to learn that many of the children, regardless of their circumstances, had optimistic expectations for their future.

We also provided the in-charge warden some groceries. We met a youngster- Ganesh, who lost both of his parents but was eager to learn the software. We offered him assistance and an opportunity to learn if he is really interested. We will cover this in a separate segment. 

The team successfully completed the installation, which was beneficial for the children. The kids' smiles were all we needed to see and , and it was a  joy to watch them enjoying the clean and pure water.

The steps were small, but the impact was huge. We had an opportunity to Fill the area of lack.

A big thank you for joining hands with us.
