We fell in love with these kids last year when we met them and decided to go back this year just for these kids. These are some of the happiest kids we have know. These kids beam with joy when they meet us and get to spend time with us. This just goes on to reminds us of how grateful we should be for our parents and family and for the many other wonders and blessings that God has given us.

So we at Share&Care collected small donations from some very generous people and bought some essentials things for the orphanage ,we bought 40 blankets and 40 floor mats for the kids as they were in urgent need of this, as sleeping on the floor during a cold December was really tough. We also got them some cakes,snacks and chocolates. We would have liked to do more but we had a really small budget and decided to go ahead with this project only late this year due to a lack of volunteers. However, we did our best to put a smile on the faces of about 55 kids and 10 caregivers.

Similar to last year, we also reached out to about 5 Anglo Indian Families and we put together a small Christmas basket which had 5 kilos of rice,1 litre oil,1 Tang packet for juice,1 kilo or sugar, 200 grams of coffee powder, 1 kilo of chicken and ½ kg of Cake.

We would have liked to have done more this year through Share&Care but we did not due to a lack of volunteers and also because of a heavy workload. We look forward to 2011 as we want to reach out even more and bless many more people who are less fortunate. We ask you to keep us in your prayers and ask God to bless us with a lot more hands so we can touch more hearts and bring more smiles.

P:S-  After our visit to the orphanage in 2009 ,we have had many other families, companies and individuals visit the orphanage and bring smiles to those kids. This brings a sense of accomplishment and happiness to us and helps us to move forward in our endeavors of sharing and caring.

What happens at Pre-Boarding?

The approximate costs is around 1,08000 INR per year.This year ShareandCare sponsored the uniform for the children which is around 12,000 INR.

An Anglo Indian Family

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.
