Today, I talked to a teacher who was staying in the sister's Hostel. She is from Uttarakhand And a dance teacher at St. Joseph Convent School.
Her elder sister's name is Deepti. She married a local fellow, and she had two babies; he had a cardiac arrest and was admitted to one of the private hospitals in Delhi. The girl and her family members tried their level best to bring them back to life, but doctors could not save his life. Even after his death, the doctors continued the treatment to get money from the family.It was a very big amount. To pay the bill her father took a loan. Because from the boy's side, no one came to help.
They got the dead body only after completion of the payment. They have arranged the money from social media and left over from the bank. After two years of his death. Their parents found a new boy for her. He was from Rajasthan. They said that the boy and his family are too good. They will accept the children also. Financially they are not stable. But they are happy.

Sr. Helena and Sr. Lincy visited a house on campus. We could find that there is no happiness in the family. The head of the family always drinks and disturbs the family. And he abuses the wife and the children. We sat for some time in their house and prayed for them and consoled them & assured them of our prayers.

We went to one of our students. The reason was he was not focusing on his studies. And become very naughty.
Then we come to know that the child was upbringing by a single parent. The child's father got a job abroad and did not come back, giving a divorce to the lady. Since the parents were financially well, she was cared for by them. We prayed for the family and assured our prayers.
