Mumbai is a huge city of over 18 million people with nearly 60,000 living rough on the streets. There are an estimated 15,000 children living a feral existence with no parents, home or hope. Our Lady's Home for Boys is one of hundreds of shelters endeavouring to provide basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing and an education.
In 2014 and 2015 whilst working in Mumbai, I along with 22 colleagues from Dimension Data spent time at the orphanage helping out with classes, activities and events. The spirit and optimism of the boys and the staff are both amazing and humbling. All those lucky enough to find a place here thrive and grow, leaving the orphanage ready for the outside world and well able to progress positively in life.
DJ and I are so very grateful for all we have and particularly that you are able to join us celebrating our marriage. Many of you have asked about our wishes for gifts and while we appreciate the sentiment and the efforts many of you have made to join us on our special day, we'd ask you to consider making a donation to this cause we both feel so passionately about. We are honeymooning in India, completing our trip in Mumbai. We'll be visiting the Home for Boys to hand over our donation and say hello to the remarkable boys and staff on August 8th. Thank you in advance.
For the past 51 years, Our Lady's Home for Boys has cared for the orphaned, poor and destitute boys of all castes and creeds in Mumbai. It provides shelter, food, clothing and an education for more than 60 boys between the ages of 7 and 16 years of age.
