Sewa Ashram - A Safe Place For The Destitute #1

Sewa Ashram is:
  • ... a rehabilitation center for sick, destitute people that has cared for the poorest of the poor since 1997. Regularly our team patrols through the streets of Delhi and picks up those extreme cases who have been abandoned, overlooked or left to die by others. At our community setting, 25 km outside of Delhi, we nurse them back to life by providing free medical care and long-term rehabilitation. Many of our recovering patients help out with the day to day needs of the Ashram by caring for each other. In this way we run on a humble budged based on compassion and love. (Quoted from their website: http://delhihouse.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1)
The Ashram grounds are artistically laid out with cobblestone paths and various gardens for flowers and vegetables.
