Lightening their burden


Anns Cottage has become a safe haven for women who have been physically abused by their husbands. They have been welcomed with open arms by founder Jebamani along with their children. Third from left is Ann, the catalyst who sparked Jebamanis desire to create a home for women and children in need.

LIGHTS during Deepavali symbolise the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and hope over misery.

At the heart of such cultural and religious celebrations are the warm, happy moments shared with family and friends.
