Distribution of warm clothes

Benevolence keeps the warmth among brethren alive. The weather at Katarkhadak and neighboring villages demands warm clothes for six months in a year.

As a tangible expression of our love for the villagers, we distributed warm clothes during the winters to young and old alike.

These thoughtful gifts changed hands, passing on from those who wish to share their abundance with the needy.
