The recent project of Reachout was that of providing new school bags for poor children in a far away Tea estate at Kerala. They were the children of coolie workers for whom even the smallest gesture of sympathy was like a ray of sunshine. Here there were around 130 children.

On the 14th of January, 2005, a group of Sabarimala Pilgrims volunteered to carry these bags up the hill to the Tea Estate. They distributed these bags there and as per their feed back the children were greatly delighted with them. They found the bags very colourful and immediately wore them on their backs and posed for the photographs. Their broad smiles and happy faces made our day for us and we hope to help them out in other ways too in the near future.

“All the other pleasures of life seem to wear out, but the pleasure of helping others in distress never does”.

We wish to thank all the sponsors who have believed in us and we hope to work hard to reach up to their trust and faith in us. We also hope that the oncoming New Year will be a year during which we can wipe many more tears.
