AMAR NEWS # 43 World Day of the Poor

The 19th of November has been declared by our Holy father, Pope Francis as the ‘World Day of the Poor’.

We the sisters along with the students of Auxilium High School Caranzalem wanted to make this day special. In the name of the school community, 20 students along with 3 sisters went to Chimbel, a Government run Home for the Aged to spend with these poor ones, our time and love. A canteen was organised prior to this outreach programme to collect the necessary funds. We spent around a hour with the inmates, entertained them with our songs and jokes, and spent time talking and listening to them. It was a touching experience for both – them and us.
