A Water Pump Motor was donated to Ms. Sivabagyam and installed at her home. Ms. Sivabagyam is the lady who co-ordinates the Elders Wisdom Breakfast Club and carries the hot food for them on the back of a motor bike, with the hot food container burning her leg! Without this water pump this important meal for the elders could not happen.

Mr & Mrs Alagi have received rations each month since 2016. Mrs Alagi is in a wheelchair pictured in the photo below. The construction of a brick house for them, complete with inside western toilet, has finally been completed.

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of Mrs Alagi. We all take heart from the fact she did see the completion of her new home and her elderly husband will continue to live there. May her soul be at Peace. Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthii
