♡♡♡ Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas & Benaulim MLA Cpt Venzy Viegas sits down for lunch @ Street Providence shelter home along with those poor goans suffering from disabilities.
Today at our shelter homes @ Cavelossim, we had a simple lunch for our friends in both these 2 Homes and we were joined by :
☆ Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas ( SFX ) & Priests from Ranchi Archdiocese,
☆ Cpt Venzy Viegas, Benaulim MLA,
☆ Fr Tony Fernandes ( SFX ),
☆ Sr Mariya ( FMCK ) & her fellow nuns ( FMCK ),
☆ John Baptist ( long time Volunteer ),
☆ Press personal ,
☆ Staff of our NGO &
☆ 35 friends, both ladies & gents with disabilities.
It was an simple Thanksgiving lunch for all those present.
Most of our friends in these 2 homes @ Cavelossim are poor homeless goans, suffering from severe mental disabilities and on medication.
Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas and his 3 Priests who are fron Ranchi Archdiocese experienced 1st hand how we @ Street Providence provide service and care to the poor homeless people suffering from mental disabilities.
Street Providence has a home in Daltonganj diocese and we intend add more homes in Daltonganj diocese to cater to the poor in Jharkhand suffering from mental disabilities and homelessness.
Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas & his Priests saw with their eyes the different types of friends in this two homes & how they are on medication for different types of disabilities.
Well , Our friendship with Cpt Venzy goes back before he became an MLA and we always invite him to our homes whenever we have any function.
Cpt Venzy Viegas as the Benaulim MLA too is doing good work across the entire constituency especially on the Health Care front.
Rarely one sees in Goa especially , A Bishop sitting down for a meal with the homeless suffering from disabilities.
Also one seldom see in Goa, an elected MLA taking part in a meal In a shelter home with poor people with disabilities.
I am sure both, Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas & Benaulim MLA , Cpt Venzy Viegas experienced the prayers, blessings and good wishes, given by our friends from both these Homes during this small short lunch program.
Usually everyone does these visits during Christmas week & rest of the year no one thinks and visits the homeless in shelter homes.
But both Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas & Benaulim MLA Cpt Venzy Viegas made time & that speaks volumes of their supoort to Street Providence vision ” Ending hunger and homelessness “.
