We praise God, that not a single child of our day care centre was
affected even though in the same area 53 people were drawn by the
flood. No harm even to our land at Panvel. One of our day care centre
teacher was sick for 10 days because of Malaria. She was hospitalized
last week and now is doing fine.
EHCM helps Tsunami victims
An EHCM team with P.K. Joshua and his wife, Rachel, doctors, nurses
and social workers have been to the Tsunami affected Nagapattinam
village area (Tamilnadu). The EHCM team co-ordianted together with
other NGO's to help the tsunami survivors.
We could provide basic necessary items like dry food, medicines,
blankets, and personal items ( toothpaste, brush, soaps, buckets,
mugs and small utensils for cooking purpose) to a large number of
people. We feel satisfied for doing welfare service for these affected
people who have lost everything in this tragedy.
EHCM USA founded
As there are more funds required to realize Mat's memorial orphanage
and other projects in the near future, we have been looking for
opportunities to share our vision and plans with more sponsors and
donors. At the right time a door has opened for EHCM to receive
funds from USA in future.
Rev. Joshua has been invited to speak in various churches in Chicago,
USA, during October and November. He sums up his visit: «My
trip to Chicago was fantastic. I could visit nearly 16 churches
and also the Moody Bible Institute. I got enough opportunity to
get good contacts."
EHCM is very happy to announce that as a result of this visit «THE
ETERNAL HOPE CHARITY MISSION, USA» has been founded. We are
very thankful for the group of supporters and the new committee
that was formed which carries together with us the vision to bring
substantial help and a true hope to the non-priviledged people in
India. [more...]
