  • The project aims at social transformation of communities by the holistic development of children through education, health care, food and shelter. The Mar Thoma Mission Board of the Diocese of North America will implement this project in partnership with the church related agencies in India. You can sponsor a child by donating $20.00 a month ($240.00 a year).
  • Last year Trinity Parish sponsored 211 children. Let us all join hands to transform the lives of these children for a better world.  Light to Life flyer and pledge form is attached.
  • For more information, please contact Mr. Shawn Varghese, Mr. Jaison V. Cherian or Mr. T. A. Mathew. Thank you for your prayerful support and help.
