The JY-Hyd team visited Shishu bhavan, at Secunderabad on 6th Nov as part of the Outreach ministry program to be amongst little children.

Shishu bhavan is an orphanage home for children run by the Mother Teresa’s congregation sisters. Jesus Youth's (JY) visit to this orphanage was one of the memorable visits. Looking at little faces, seeking for love and care can never be forgotten.

Around fourteen Jesus Youth, visited the place at 4:30 in the evening. Initially the infants were a little hesitant after looking at so many new faces. However, it did not take a long time to bring smiles on the little faces.

We started the program with distribution of cakes and crisps. The children then slowly started to talk and mingle with everyone. After this all the little ones along with the Music Ministry, blew their lungs out singing to our Farther God. JY ensured that every child got personal attention.

There are 55 children who were either picked up from the street or left unwanted by the family. Five of them were staying in a hostel for higher studies. The rest fifty included little ones below the age of ten years. Included in these children were some who could not speak, some who could not hear, & some mentally retarded & physically ill.

Inspite, of the physical pain and hardship, the glow that every child had was remarkable.
As everyone were singing and dancing, God too rejoiced with us, as HE opened the gates of heaven and there was a huge showers of blessing. Everyone gathered inside and spent little more time with the children.

No one realized but time just flew by & it was time for to leave. It stopped raining at around 6:00 pm when the JY team bid its good byes.

While the JY team were walking out, some of the children wanted to know when they would be back while some others asked 'Will you come back tomorrow?' With a thought to make the children continue to smile and hope that God will bring us back, the JY team sheepishly said

'Yes – we will come back some day very soon' and left from there.
