The spirits of the Devanampattam village people were restored. Project Hope was instrumental with short term relief supplies (food, medical supplies, tarpaulins and other essentials) as well as providing emotional and spiritual support to the shattered communities of people. Most importantly the long-term rehabilitation process, already well established has given the people renewed hope. Some of the rehabilitation efforts are not only renewing the people’s hope but are actually enhancing and enriching their lives.

Most importantly, we have not only put a roof over their heads and food in their stomach, but we've put a smile back on their faces and laughter back in their hearts.

The faces of the children and the village people have become filled with light and hope
