"Those who leave
everything in God's hand will eventually see God's hand in
everything."
The long-awaited dream of completing the 1st floor of the Sneha
Jyothi Boarding is finally becoming a reality, bringing immense joy
and gladness to the staff and the Director of Vimukti Charitable
Trust (R), Pothnal. With God's blessing and the dedicated efforts of
Fr. Sathish Fernandes, along with the Vimukti staff, the newly
constructed 1st floor of Sneha Jyothi Boarding at Pothnal was
blessed on 1st September by Rev. Fr. William Prabhu, Guardian. He
proudly unveiled the plaque and humbly expressed gratitude to God,
saying, “Lord, your love is eternal; complete the work that you have
begun... what is done in love is done well.”
Fr. Prashanth Kumar, Assistant Parish Priest of St. Clare of Assisi
Church, Pothnal, expressed his heartfelt thanks to everyone who
contributed to the completion of this project. He noted that the
construction of the extension has given Sneha Jyothi Boarding a new
and enhanced appearance. Fr. Sathish Fernandes, Director of Vimukti,
expressed his deep gratitude to Rev. Fr. John Alwyn Dias,
Provincial, and his councillors, Fr. Vijesh Loyed Menezes,
Provincial Treasurer, and Fr. Maxim D’Silva Provincial Administrator
for their unwavering support and timely assistance. He prayed that
this "house" would become a source of inspiration and a place of
blessing for all who enter, regardless of background or
circumstance. "It is faith that makes all things possible, while
love makes all things easy," he added.
The campus has undergone a complete transformation, now resembling a
beautifully adorned bride. Under the supervision of Fr. Sathish
Fernandes, the boarding and premises have been thoroughly cleaned
and given a fresh, new look. Every available space, from the
compound gate to the building, has been artistically utilized to
create an atmosphere conducive to learning. We extend our heartfelt
thanks, gratitude, and appreciation to all the donors who helped
make this great venture possible. Many of our neighboring friends,
Vimukti staff, sponsored children, and others witnessed the
inaugural event. As part of the celebration, a short felicitation
program was organized to honor, appreciate, and acknowledge with
immense gratitude the services of the building contractor, laborers,
well-wishers, and friends.
