Greetings with Sachu's handwritten message

Here is a Christmas greeting card from Attapadi where there is a message handwritten by Sneha thanking all for helping her with her surgery (for those who know Malayalam!!:))

Sneha receives our messages and greetings

I just got off the phone from John achen in Attapadi. Rajesh was there last weekend and handed over our messages the video of all of us to them. Achen said the kids were watching TV and when they saw the VCD played, they asked to put off the TV and watch the video. They all have seen the video and Sneha has seen the messages. Achen said she and Sachu were very happy to see the video of all and read the messages. Achen said Sneha has made some greetings which he will send to us.

Rajesh also has taken lots of video. He should be back in Jan. Lets wait for that.

Sneha's parcel on its way

Yesterday night we prepared a VCD for Sneha based on the photos of the last one year including the photo of all of us in the parish together with achen. The VCD also has video clippings of the programmes the kids participated in the last few months, and also some messages of introduction for Sneha we recorded yesterday.

The VCD along with the Christmas card signed by the children and the teachers and the personal messages of the kids to Sneha are all sent in a parcel to our friend Rajesh Vargheese in Austin, TX who will leave for India this Friday.

Albany kids prepare greetings for Sneha

Our kids in Albany SS yesterday wrote messages for Sneha in Attapadi. I had my doubts earlier as to whether we were able to convey the thoughts about Sneha to the kids in the right way, and if they were able to appreciate the situation. But looking at their thoughts expressed for Sneha yesterday I was truly amazed and blessed. I can see the invisible hand of the Holy Spirit guiding them to understand Sneha and be her friend. Our kids in Albany are well on their way. I can see this relationship between them and Sneha already taking on a life of its own. Praise the Lord!
