Immanuel Mercy Home @ NEW PANVEL

Began in 2010, it’s a shelter for orphans, children of sex workers, abandoned elders and destitutes. They shelter people from the streets on the verge of dying and provide them with proper medical treatment and care. As it was our very first visit to this place we were shown a video describing the work carried out at Immanuel Mercy Home. After a brief discussion with Pastor Sinu Mathew who is the Founder and president of this Ashram, we visited the ladies wing followed by the gents wing in that vicinity. We were overwhelmed with compassion on our visit to this place.
 

Jyothis Charitable Trust’s Care Centre @ KALAMBOLI


This branch of Jyothis shelters women with HIV / AIDS who are neglected by their families. These women spend their days doing daily chores and making decorative streamers / stars that are later sold. They are provided with regular health check and treatment. The centre has a Doctor’s cabin where in the doctor is available throughout the day from Mon – Fri. It also has a small Laboratory with a lab assistant . It was wonderful to see their faces light up with joy as we distributed sweets and colours for Holi since they missed celebrating the festival as there were a lot of visitors the previous day.


Jyothis Charitable Trust’s Care Centre @ Taloja


This branch of Jyothis shelters destitute women (those including aged and mentally unstable). On entering the lobby, we were greeted by a welcome song sung by these women. We spent some time with them in interaction, playing a game – passing the parcel and distributed snacks (their Favourite Vada Pav). They all were overjoyed on our visit and insisted us to come back soon in anticipation of spending more time with them and playing exciting games to brighten their day.
