Monthly Get Together

On the 2nd Monday of every month, there is get together of the patients and their dependents at CASS. It commences with a prayer session followed by messages by the CASS team and other resource persons. The team members interact with the patients personally as well as in groups. The get together gives an opportunity for the patients to share their sorrows, happiness and experiences among themselves, the counselors and staff of CASS. The programe ends with lunch. A packet of rice is donated and travel expenses for each of the participants are reimbursed.
Although an increasing number of HIV affected persons are approaching us for support, we are unable to include them under our umbrella due to financial constraints.

Educational Support

The society supports the innocent and helpless dependent children of living and deceased HIV/AIDS patients. More than 100 children are now studying in schools and colleges with the support of CASS. This alone requires approximately Rs.30, 000/- per month. In addition, CASS is supporting 20 children undergoing professional courses, for which the monthly expenses comes to Rs 20, 000/-.
By way of educational support, we wish to provide financial help to fulfill the aspirations of these innocent children for education. As we are not able to provide full financial support, we offer them part of their expenses, from the donations received from friends and well wishers of CASS.
We request you to TAKE PART in the Service of God and provide financial help to fulfill the aspirations of these innocent children to do their nursery, primary, high school, and nursing or degree courses. We have a number of children of various ages, from toddlers to college going who need financial assistance. You can sponsor a child by giving an amount of Rs 1000 to Rs 1500 per month. The progress of the student you support will be regularly communicated to you.
