EDITORIAL

Dear Friends,

Greetings.

Pat Patrick, in her book, Awakening the Dream Within, writes,

“In life, we leave a legacy to our children, we leave our

footprints wherever we travel, and we leave our fingerprints

on every heart we touch.” Her words echo an outlook that We

Care has been striving to achieve in our work over the past

sixteen years.

We are aware of the value and importance of good education in

the life of a person, how it helps to shape and develop our

thinking, understanding and practice of reality. However, good

education is possible only when the primary needs of a person

such as food, clothing and shelter are met. It is here that some

of our efforts, especially the nutritional programme of We Care has been effective and made a difference.

Few years ago, four children, coming from a single family, were attending the free-evening-tuition classes. They

looked so frail and weak, especially the girls. Their bodies were small and under-developed for their ages. The

reason behind this was an alcoholic father, who squandered his wages and a small income from the mother’s

work as a house maid. An under-nourished body is a sign of an under-developed brain and this was reflected in

their school performances. After speaking to the tuition teacher, our staff, and their mother, we decided to put

these children on a special diet of an egg-a-day. In a few months time, the results were there for all to see. Not

only their attendance became regular, but their health too improved and so was their school performances.

As part of our free-evening-tuition for poor children, we ensure that every child receive some nutrition. We Care

has also been regularly supporting the nutrition programme of young girls in boarding houses. This little gesture

has been yielding good results.

Another set of needs following the basic ones are, sanitation, education and healthcare. The Swatchh

Bharat programme is beginning to show results. Decent sanitation is truly a crying need, the need of toilets for

young children, especially girls. It is good to read in the news reports that the practice of open defecation is

slowly becoming a thing of the past. At We Care we invest time in making our children aware of the need for

personal hygiene and sanitation. Awareness is given in simple things like cutting of nails, making one’s hair,

washing of hands before meals, using the toilet and keeping it clean, take a regular bath, wearing clean clothes,

disposing trash in a proper manner, etc. All of this, go into helping the children in having a healthy mind in a

healthy body. Our children definitely need a holistic approach to their growth and development. This awareness

is being dispensed at regular intervals both through the free-evening-tuition and the teenagers groups.

Meetings are also conducted for the parents of these children, to ensure that they too become an integral part of

their child’s education. After all, the mother, being the key figure in the life of a child, must take responsibility for

their child’s growth and development. Issues such as education, nutrition, health, hygiene and sanitation are

discussed with them. They are also shown their role and responsibility and how they ought to lead their children

by example. With increased awareness one can see the changes that are happening and hope that these will

have a lasting impact on the minds of our young boys and girls.

We have also been reaching out to people suffering from diseases like cancer and kidney failure. With the

changes in food habits and life-styles, more people are being adversely affected with such diseases needing

help and support. The cost of medical care has also steadily been on the rise and the poor are finding it

extremely difficult to make ends meet.

We are grateful to all our donors, for your generous contributions and continued support that help us to achieve

all our initiatives and endeavours. We take responsibility to utilize the resources well and to reach out to as many

persons as possible. Do support us with your prayers too.

As we now move into the seventeenth year of our commitment to humbly serve the poor with love, we are

pleased to place this newsletter into your hands. Through all these activities, we endeavour, to touch the lives of

as many children, patients and the poor, with lasting values that promote the goodness of life and to “leave our

fingerprints on every heart we touch”.

This newsletter covers the highlights of programmes, activities and corresponding financial information for April-

March 2015-16. Pictures have been arranged to suit the layout of the pages and do not correspond with the text

where these have been placed. The newsletter is also available on our website.

Putting people first, social accounting. In our efforts to enhance the quality of our work and to ensure the

optimum cost-benefit we have made an effort to count the number of persons who have benefitted from the

programme and activities. The figures given in the statistical tables are taken from our records. The details are

not complete because the real number of people who benefit from our programme is not easy to determine. The

information will however give the reader a fair view. It is not how many people you serve, that counts. It is

how well you serve them, which really matters.

We remember with gratitude, our Divine Patrons, St Joseph and St Anthony, our Trustees, Donors, Benefactors,

Well-wishers, Staff, Volunteers and those who associate and support us in one way or another. We hope and

pray that God Almighty may bless each one of you and your family members in a ways that He knows best.

With best wishes,

Fr Trevor D’Souza,

Managing Trustee

31st March 2016

This space is dedicated in prayerful remembrance of our donors,

benefactors, well-wishers & beneficiaries who have left for their

heavenly abode

May their souls rest in peace.

Aayushi Srinivasan (Volunteer, Christ University):

“The experience was more of a philosophical lesson for me than an „academic‟ one … it taught me

the difficulties people face in life and that our mental cognition doesn‟t really allow us to think

about the others in this fast paced world. I thank „We Care‟ for extending their areas of service

and allowing me to do something I truly believe in..”

Namita K N (Volunteer, Christ University):

“I have made memories for a lifetime and met children whose enthusiasm and love for life really

touched and inspired me. In addition to that, the organization provided me with an

opportunity to be a conscious, aware and a contributing citizen of my country and endowed me

with a set of skills that‟ll greatly benefit me in my future endeavors.”
