A DAWN OF HOPE ARISES…
OFM Franciscans India lay the Foundation for the Construction of PAASAM Care Centre, in Dindigul
27 November 2020, Dindigul: It is not easy to live as an HIV/AIDS infected person in the society. Even though there are efforts to create awareness about the same, the society remains the same. The life of an HIV/AIDS infected person becomes all the more difficult when he or she is very ill, because no one comes forward to look after. In the end, the infected person suffers alone with no one to help.
In order that the persons suffering from HIV/AIDS may afford a good humane treatment and care, Friars ministering in PAASAM-FLAME have initiated a project for a Care Centre.
The Foundation stone for the Care Centre was laid by Br Praveen Henry D’ Souza, Minister Provincial in the presence of Friars, Benefactors, Local Priests, Paasam Family Members. Br. Joseph Stephen, the Director of Paasam-Flame and Br. Eugene Lobo, the Assistant Director of Paasam-Flame were present, too.
In this Care Centre, the HIV/AIDS infected persons will be taken care and treated with respect and dignity. It is in the spirit of St. Francis; the friars embrace those on the peripheries and make them part of their daily life.
The OFM Franciscans India ministering with HIV/AIDS infected brothers and sisters in Dindigul are committed to value the preciousness of every person no matter what their health condition is and to accord to everyone the due dignity and respect and help everyone experience peace, joy and love through our relationships and external structures.
