Outreach to India
Our Saviour’s is partnering with one of our young people in December to provide help in India. Through working on a senior project to assist an orphange in India, a student from OSELC learned lepers in India have a great need for gauze and antibiotic ointment.
Through the month of December, OSELC is collecting gauze, ointment and/or money ($20) for medical kits to aid a village in India dealing with leprosy. The material or money can be left at OSELC.
For more information or to help, call 837-8055 or 882-1898.
