Love Heals!

“Let the children come to me” said Jesus. The children welcome you ‘enga veetukku vaanga’ (come to our home) as a beautiful Servite Children’s Home stands tall behind them.


‘Love Heals’ is written all over the structure. The foundation stone laid by Mrs.  & Mr. Udhayanidhi Stalin few months ago has now been inaugurated by Thiru. M. K. Stalin, Honourable Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on 31st October 2010. The children’s excitement went overboard as he spent more than an hour with them. He stressed that children affected and infected with HIV/AIDS have dreams which need to be realized by instilling confidence in them.

Pioneering effort in taking care of the sick is being continued by Servite Sisters at Holy Family Hansenorium, Fathima Nagar, Trichy. They played a vital role in taking care of the Lepers when they were discriminated in the society, then Tuberculosis and now people living with HIV/AIDS.
As he appreciated the services rendered by the Sisters, he also enumerated the health care initiatives of this Government being emulated by other States in India. The children sang invoking God’s presence and together with Deputy Chief Minister planted tree sapling around the building.

Children need to be loved and they should know that they are loved. This home is a perfect example as it envisages holistic growth of these children. People AIDS Initiative is proud of being part of their welfare and thanks its Principal Patron, Mrs. Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi who is determined to go all out for the children in need.

God bless all the generous contributors and volunteers unnamed behind this effort who strongly feel, ‘love heals’.
