Let us pray and hope that the Home for the aged and the destitute next to Don Bosco High School in Panjim ably run by Missionaries of Charity for almost five decades until now will be restarted at the earliest.
Hopefully this noble task will continue to be undertaken for the benefit of the needy, deprived and downtrodden by these very experienced nuns. Undoubtedly, the recent, very contrary and conflicting statements made by the Nuns has needlessly complicated and confused the whole scenario.
These entire premises has a need for habitable conditions for the less fortunate to live in truly humane conditions and the government of Goa and other institutions must also try and pitch in towards this Social Responsibility.
The Missionaries of charity who run other homes at various places in Goa and elsewhere in India should likewise also restart this one for the benefit of the poor and deprived. This is definitely going to be an uphill task, but we have to work towards unity as our departed Pope Francis wished, and we are able to carry on Mother Teresa’s rich legacy.
It is heartening that the current committee of Assistencia, Goa is headed by the young and dynamic Neville Monteiro whose integrity, honesty and uprightness is beyond any doubt. He is a God-fearing, conscientious and exemplary citizen.
