Little Drops !!!!!!!!

Hi People, it’s been days since I blogged. Well it’s about another mission we accomplished through Chisel's I am penning down about.

Little Drops- An old age home in Chennai. It’s a home for destitute. They had around 400 0r so aged people to be taken care of. 75% of them were bedridden. Their taken care with regular medicines and food. Their  been provided with clothing and shelter. One of the founders Paul says "By God's Grace our needs are being met". But it does amaze us so much to see so many people being taken care of. It’s an immense job I should mention here. Coz taking care of elderly peoples is a task, coz they have their bad moods which surely they don't know most of the times what their saying or doing. 

We Chisel's wanted to step in there to meet those precious people. So, on one spring day, the April 9th we ventured to be with them a day, sponsoring that days lunch. Many of us planned to go, but unfortunately due to our state's elections on April 13th, many classes and offices were working on April 9th, which was supposed to be a second Saturday a non-working day. So it’s just few people who were able to make it up. We wanted to be there around 11am. But I eventually ended up there only around 2pm. As that day was my B’day I had guests coming home to wish me and wasn’t able to be there on time. Felshya wanted to be there, but she had classes to lecture, so she gave up. Monica made up on time with her family and few friends. And so they started serving foods to all. I joined them in a while. We had lunch with Mr. Paul. Later a volunteer took us to the blocks to see few people. They were glad to see us and greeted us. Some spoke about their journey here, which heart was breaking. And few did mention their glad to be in Little Drops. Inside little drops they had another home known as Rehoboth, were they take care of mentally challenged girls. The girls actually are really happy to have visitors. They were overjoyed seeing us; they greeted us with handshakes and hugs and were calling us Anna (Bro) and Akka (Sis). We spoke to few and all wished me Happy B’Day.

 

                                                              Then it was already evening, so we thought we’ll leave, but was invited to the office to have Tea with Paul uncle. We were chatting with him, about how he had this idea to start an old age home for destitute. Uncle was saying, that his childhood days was a bit of struggle coz of his father’s unexpected death, which shook them financially as well and so he wanted to do something for people in need once he grows up was his aim he said. Then he started working for Indian Airlines, both him and his wife Mrs. Sheila Paul, a really good singer. They both gave VRS to their good job and bought a piece of land near porur Chennai to start a home for Orphan kids. But Uncle Paul says, “I thought there were quite a few Orphanage home around that I decided to take care of aged people who are left in the roads by their own children and so started with this home”.  And he said there would be 6-7 deaths a week, for which a proper burial would be given. They have an ambulance to take anybody who’s serious to the Hospital. He said if we see any aged people in the road we can bring them in by following a simple procedure. Which is to take them to a nearby Police Station and get a memo from the cops, which states that we have found this old man/woman in the road and I am taking him/her to a home. The Cops give us a copy of that memo, which we should summit here and they are taken in. Each person holds a file, with their photo and little about them, just for reference sake I guess.  

Well, we wanted to salute the man for his accomplishment, but just told him that we are so pleased to get a chance to be part of your dream for few hours. Bidding farewell to all, us started of with so much of blessings and joy in our hearts.

Hundreds of parties can never equalize the Joy we receive in a simple act of kindness. We Chisel’s feel so blessed for God choosing us to be the Chisel’s in His hand in the midst of millions of peoples in earth. And so are the others who push us forward with their prayers and money. So I dedicate this Blog to all those peoples who supports us to be the Chisel’s. God Bless !!!!!!!

Regards,

Ann Chisel.
