an inclination towards selfishness have finally realized the significance of
sharing and caring. God in his divine power has educated each one of us a
lesson, an exercise which is to be fulfilled all through our life. To
demonstrate solidarity and compassion towards others and to share what is our
own particularly to the needy brethren.
True to its motto, ‘Heal and Comfort’, Father Muller
Charitable Institutions has time and again set an example by bringing health
care solace to the suffering humanity.

amount of energy. It is sad to note that thousands of people are still perched
on trees and rooftops, waiting to be rescued. Water has started entering relief
camps. This is the first time that Kerala and Kodagu have seen such a
disastrous monsoon so far. And in this time of the hour, it is very kind and
generous gesture of these young healthcare professionals of Father Muller’s who
have always believed in the motto ‘Comfort and Heal’ to go and help these
people. May God guide and protect these youngsters when they are on a mission
to help and save others.†he added. The group
