AN APPEAL FROM THE METROPOLITAN
Dear Friends,
Let me take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for your goodwill and kindness towards this charitable society.

Your co-operation and encouragement is essential for the growth and prosperity of this organization in the future, too.

For providing food to the residence the cost works out to approximately Rs. 500 a day. Those who wish to provide a day's meal at Yeldho Mar Baselios orphanage or Bethsada destitute home every year, the cost will only be $ 150 or say Rs. 6000. This sum will be kept as an endowment and will be utilized for food for a day, each year.

We appeal our beloved supporters to share the burden of running the Yeldho Mar Baselios Orphanage and Bethsada destitute home by donating $ 150 each.

Thanking you,

Yours servant in Christ
Dr. Abraham Mar Severios (Bishop)
