MOW FOOD BANK - Sinthamani Ashram - The Visit

One lovely Sunday morning on 1st July 2012, Meals on Wheels Penchala made its stop at Sinthamani Divine Life Ashram. Located amidst the serene village of Jinjang Utara, the Sinthamani Ashram is a well-maintained and comfortable Home for the needy and underprivileged children. The conducive surroundings coupled with fresh air and farm animals roaming freely depict a tranquil environment for the kids to grow up and bask in the charms of nature.

When we arrived there, the residents of the Ashram – toddlers, children and youth ranging from three to 21 years old – were seen revising their homework and studying. A few of them were cleaning up the playground equipment in the garden.

The basic single storey house – once a shabby wooden house which was then renovated and refurbished over the years – comprises a spacious porch, a dining/study hall, two dormitories, a kitchen, a computer room and external bathrooms. The Ashram currently houses 49 children. There are also four single mothers who assist with the children’s daily needs, cooking, cleaning etc. as well as three aged folks
