SSSS Sangath Training & PWD certificates in Mehsana
SSSS training on Account & Documentation for cooperative members
Women’s cooperative members of Mehsana, Mandali,
Siddhpur and Radhanpur had gathered in Mehsana for a training on accounts and
documentation for two days in October 2020. SSSS staff Vaibhav and Jaifin animated
the training so that women would know how to write and maintain all the
documents practically for better functioning of the cooperative societies. SSSS
staff also witnessed the ongoing beautician-training programme in Mehsana
centre. We thank Sr. Nirmala for making all the arrangements for training.
SSSS reaches out to Persons with disabilities
SSSS staff helped persons with disabilities to obtain
disability certificates in Gandhinagar and Mehsana districts. The staff obtains
the necessary documents and uploads them with online application and thereafter
takes the persons to the civil hospitals to be examined by the Civil Surgeon
who gives disability certificates, which paves way to obtain many government
entitlements. Kudos to Nitin & SSSS team.

Archdiocese reaches out to the needy Catholics
Archdiocese reaches out to the needy Catholics
As Archbishop Thomas Macwan felt compassion on the
poor needy Catholics in the Archdiocese, with the help of PMS he reached out to
these Catholics. SSSS staff helped the Archbishop in reaching out to the poor and
needy Catholics in the month of October 2020. The preliminary survey was done
by respective Parish Priests with the help of parish council members. As the
numbers were finalized, the Archdiocese bought food grains and provisions for
the poor Catholic families to sustain themselves for a month. Archbishop &
SSSS staff went to different missions and villages of the Archdiocese to
distribute food provisions which would relieve their hunger for a month. Although
Archdiocese has 6 civil districts we had chosen 3 districts to render this help
namely Aravalli, Gandhinagar and Sabarkantha where mostly tribal Catholics
live. Altogether 400 families were helped in Himmatnagar, Nanakantharia,
Meghraj, Khiloda, Pahadiya, Bhiloda and Vijaynagar parishes. Although the
distance is vast, still our beloved Archbishop came in person in search of his
flock and helped them with food materials. This act touched the people and they
were very grateful. (Xavier James)
