Comments from our distinguished visitors as noted in our diary

I have had the pleasure of visiting the Centre and seen the work being done by the team of social workers under the leadership of Miss. H. Rayappan. Be it counseling of women or alcoholics or work with neo-literates, all are reaching out to help persons rediscover and live up to their dignity of human beings. Keep up the good work.

We the girls of St. Agnes, College are visiting this Short Stay Home for the first time. Though we had heard of this we didn’t have any exact idea about the functions of this home. But after coming here we feel this home is doing a wonderful job. The problems of people over here are more severe than what we could even imagine of. I also feel that Prajna Counselling Centre is a real shelter to the homeless. It is not simply human work but its God’s work that you are doing. We are really inspired.
