A Home of Grace

The Association of Arulagam
(A home of Grace)

It is very common in India for women to be considered below men. In some cases, women are seen as good for nothing without a man in their lives. For example, if a women's husband passes away, they would then become a widow, become rejected by their family, and then become forced to live in the streets.

This is why The Association of Arulagam came to be...

This organization's aim is to accept all types of women who are sexually abused, sent away from their homes, rejected by society, infected by HIV/AIDS and enable them to regain their respect and dignity. They do this by offering these women a home, medical care and support, facilities for AIDS/HIV+ children/women, vocational training programs, education, and occupational therapy.

The Association of Arulagam is Located in:

In India, some people do not understand why children with disabilities are humans just like us. Some states are not as informed or education about special needs children and do not always know what to do about them. These children may be different, but they still are of value. That is why Ashish Centre was opened in New Delhi!

ASHISH CENTRE

"The Ashish Centre seeks to work towards a society that views each person as being of value and importance and to make a difference in the lives of children with disabilities as well as their families."

Once a follower of Jesus asked Gandhi the best way to naturalize Christianity in India. Gandhi told the man that the best way to bring more Hindus to Christ would be by “Christians” acting more Christ-like and emphasizing more on love.

 

Gandhi was wise to say this. Jesus tells us in Colossians 3:14, “…over all these virtues put on love, which binds [us] all together in perfect unity.”
