I wished to do a bridging course in Australia as add on to my studies and it was a strenuous effort to meet the expenses. Education loans from private banks and all, were with unbearable interest rates. At this time I approached my Parish and found a solace in ‘Our Lady of Perpetual Help Assistance Fund’. I am grateful to this initiative and I was happy to refund the amount after getting well placed to spread the care and support I got, in my difficult times.
