Eluru Community Ministry

85 street children / orphans were welcomed by the Eluru community. Although some of them are studying in secondary school, most of them are studying in primary school. They came from Ashakiranam, a children’s home that started in the year 2003. Srs. Mercy and Vimala are taking care of them. These sisters take 100 children every year and send them to school. Every month they put 100 rupees in the bank in the name of each child for their future livelihood.

Bros. Jojappa and Christy are doing ministry at Ashakiranm every Sunday, teaching them songs and games. We mainly try to make them happy. Most of the children do not have a father and mother; some of them were abandoned by their parents in the railway stations and streets. So we are trying our level best.
