\nYouth Director, Archdiocese of Bangalore
\n\u201cThe situation is such that many patients are dying because of lack of care. Because they are not able to eat so nobody to feed. So, because of that also people die. So that's where we intervene and help these patients.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYouth Director, Archdiocese of Bangalore
\n\u201cThey are risking their lives, yes. But at the same time we don't force anyone. They are coming on their own because they want to serve.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYouth Director, Archdiocese of Bangalore
\n\u201cWe can still witness God's love, especially in these moments of crisis. At least we can reach out to one needy person, that will heal the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
