About Us

Humanitarianism and social work was not a deliberate choice for Jolly Varghese and Nimmy Jolly when they started their life together. Sometime in their struggle for existence, they witnessed the miserable plight of the poor,the sick, and the shelterless, and it touched their hearts deeply. Eventually, lending such people a helping hand became a vocation to them. It was not an easy work with roses everywhere, especially when they extended their service to the most rejected criminals and culprits in jail. But they drew the vitalism for their hazardous work from their deep-rooted faith in God, and love for humanity. Jolly and Nimmy were common people who did uncommon things, as can be noticed in the true stories of how they transformed many tears into smiles in their book in Malayalam “Meenachilarum Ormakalum.” The book is enough to change our perspective towards life,and inspire us to undertake a journey to seek the most unwanted in society.
