House of Hope (Nambikkai Illam in the Tamil language) is a project in Vellore, India, to construct a boys’ dormitory at an orphanage served by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Vellore, India.
The Sisterhood serves 90 orphaned and semi-orphaned children, sexually abused children, street children, and tribal children at Nambikkai Illam. Tribal children come from remote parts of India, wilderness places where subsistence hunting and gathering take place. The children are educated in an elementary school at the orphanage.
The dormitory will replace a very decrepit building that the boys use. They must evacuate that building when it rains—the roof leaks in many places, and when this happens, they also have no place to sleep and to do their school work! The Sisters are depending on the generosity of you and me to garner the funds needed to build the dormitory. The total cost of the project is $165,000. Any amount you can give will advance the Sister’s work.
