STREET PROVIDENCE BRINGS SMILES AND MOTIVATIONS BACK INTO THE LIFE OF BERNARD, A GOAN MAN.

STREET PROVIDENCE TRUST GOA brings smiles and motivation back into the life of Bernard , 
A Goan man .
A man in total depression and in the dark, now set free .
Late Nov 2019 , Bernard was admitted into our home in a very sad state.
He was in a total mess and blurred vision in both eyes due to cataract. 
A big nuisance in his village as he would just loitering in dirt and sleeping on the road or bus stops .
Very adamant man , highly stubborn and too violent .
He just could not control his toilet movements and would moan , groan , mutter , abuse , etc .
He basically I feel had lost his mind . 
It took us almost a month to realise that he was unable to see due to cataract. 
Bernard motivation level was very low .
He understood and believed that nothing good can come from him.
Too compound this belief of his , the care givers were getting stressed, bathing and cleaning him daily.
Infact we had to shift Bernard to a different home every 15 days so that the care givers would not get stressed & upset with him .
Thanks to a senior citizen from our Margao Food Bank , Mr Rubio who took Bernard many many times to Dr Ryan to check his eyes and be prepared for the operation. 
We managed to get 1 eye of Bernard operated FREE OF COST by Dr Ryan at Margao.
After a few weeks Bernard was at ease. 
He started responding to the care giver request to use the toilet and started having bath by himself. 
One thing I observed that which house Bernard stayed, he would listen to the CD being played and follow it .

♡ In All our homes the WORD / DEVOTIONAL SONGS / RETREATS are played 24 hours which is preached by BJ 
This 24 hours non stop Word of God is the best way to beat depression and sickness.
Today we present you :
▪︎1. A picture of Bernard when we                       admitted him into our home 9                       months ago.
▪︎2. A 5 minute video taken 3 days ago             in KONKANI which will explain his               current confidence level .
▪︎3. The same video where Bernard is               singing and tapping together an                  Alfred Rose song after 4 min of play            time.
