Share and Care -You brought a smile to people
We (Steve & Calvin) started this with the intention of helping maybe 25-30 people this Christmas and sent out a simple e-mail request to friends and family.
What happened was incredible! We were flooded with requests of people who were not only willing to give generously (Godbless to All) but also willing to volunteer to personally come and help out.
We had people give us cash from the United States, Australia, the Middle East and India. We had people give us toys and clothes to distribute. People contributed their vehicles for us to shop and deliver. We were overwhelmed with the response and THRILLED with the impact we had on “The Boys Home” & “The Old Age Home”

6 Deserving Anglo Indian Families
This was a moving experience for me. Witnessing an Anglo Indian staying with his family in a tin shed – 5 minutes from perambur. It was a rewarding experience to help 6 families with 5kgs rice, 1 kg oil, and other provisions such as dhal, sugar and chicken for Christmas along with clothes for the kids and a cash gift of 200/- INR.
It was a SMASHING SUCCESS!! We enclose a couple of pictures. You made this happen! You helped us to be generous to others and we pray that God gives blesses your cash and effort back a 1000 fold in 2010. Happy New year and god bless.
