The recent visit by Yoshimi and Peter to Snehan Home was a source of deep inspiration for both our staff and beneficiaries.
Yoshimi, a 2009 Kanthari participant, works in rural villages of Thailand in educating poor children. Peter, who lost his eyesight at the age of one due to eye cancer, shared his remarkable journey of choosing journalism as his profession. He worked for many years in the field before retiring, and his story of resilience and determination touched everyone present.
We spent over two hours exchanging ideas and learning about each other’s projects. Peter asked thoughtful questions to Anumuthu, seeking to understand his passion for serving the neglected homeless. Their curiosity was met with heartfelt answers, and they left motivated by the vision behind Snehan’s mission.
Yoshimi and Peter were also excited to experience Snehan’s EV-Auto drive. At one point, Peter sat in the driver’s seat, feeling its shape and design to understand how it works. This simple moment brought joy to everyone around.
Their visit reminded our staff and residents that every life carries lessons worth learning. The fact that they travel across countries, stay in hotels, and visit places like Snehan was eye-opening for many of our people. Truly, their presence was a gift of encouragement, and we remain open to learning from every encounter.
