MUMMY

It is difficult to find words to describe Mummy Carol and what she is to us.

Carol Faison is the Founder of Care & Share. She is an American. She went to Venice, Italy, when she was a young girl and lived there ever since. The Care & Share Journey began 17 years ago. In 1991 her brother Tony visited Manginapudi and saw us boys and girls in the Hostel. The photos he took back touched her heart. She and her family and friends began to sponsor some of us. Her charitable heart supported our care and education. She gave us love and care. When we saw her smiling face for the first time as little children we were captivated. What began with a few of us in a small orphanage on the Bay of Bengal soon became a programme reaching out to hundreds and thousands of children. So many have joined hands in this great work and so many children have benefitted. We, the first children, who received her love and care are testimony to it. This is the story of a Mother with 6,000 plus children. Maybe she is the only Mother who has so many kids! In spite of the fact that she has done so much she still wants to do more for the children. There are so many things that one can say about her and write about her but maybe we can just say that she is a MUMMY ... in capital letters...!

At the bottom of her e mail she has these words :
"We find joy in life, when we find people who help others, for no other reason, than it is the right thing to do." She is an inspiration to us urging us to find joy in helping others!

We love her
We are proud to be the children of Carol Mummy & Noel Daddy
We follow in her footsteps
We don't say: "Thank you" but we say to her: "We in turn will SHARE with others the CARE that we have experienced" !
