Easter Appeal- Story of a secular sanctuary: ’Gandhibhavan’ at Kollam, Kerala.
After the successful Christmas appeal which generated an all time single largest amount of £ 28,789.00, we are approaching our readers and well wishers during this holy weekls with Easter celebration with a different story of ‘Gandhibhavan’ at Kollam.
This is a place where people from all the walks of life approaches when all other doors are closed in front of them irrespective of their religion, colours, belief, medical condition and their age. This home habitats over 1000 residents and the office-bearers find it difficult to feed the inmates with their daily meals even though limited government funds are available on regular basis. Gandhibhavan is one of the rare shelters in Kerala where there is no interference from any religious institutions and prayers are being held in all religious denominations. Apart from the destitutes who have been given-up by their families and relatives due to the prolonging ill health and age, well known personalities at times such as film actress, political leaders and even the grandson of Sir C.P are the residents of this heavenly asylum.
