Students of Ave Maria University, USA visit Seva Kendra Calcutta

"Though extremely poor, with very little  to enjoy life with, I noticed the children in the slum we  visited, were beaming with joy, a joy so authentic " said Benjamin Ruefer, a student of Ave maria University during an interaction with the youth volunteers of Seva kendra after a visit of the slum on Thursday, 16th May 2013. 

Mr. Jim Towey, the President of the Ave Maria University, Florida together with 12 students visited SKC for an exposure programme. They were touched by the various works undertaken by this organization on behalf of the poor people.

When Mr. Jim Towey learnt of the Corpus Fund that SKC was planning to build for the poor old people, he readily donated US $ 1000.00 towards it and the students pledged to raise US $ 6000.00 to set up a solar lighting facility for one boarding school in the Archdiocese of Calcutta. 

SKC thanks the President and all the students of Ave Maria University, Florida.
