A Work of Love

Christians refer to the period from Ash Wednesday to Easter as Lent or Easter penitential season. During these 40 days of fasting, many of us abstain from certain foods, stimulants or perhaps from consuming media such as television or the Internet. However, a simple abstinence without a spiritual dimension might be healthy for the body and mind, but in the context of faith it would certainly not be the goal of Christian fasting. The goal of fasting is to follow a path of repentance and conversion through abstinence and concentration on the essentials and accompanying prayer.

However, abstaining from consumption also has a social component. The savings made through abstinence should not be hoarded and thrown away. Christian fasting also includes acts of charity.

The “Arul Trust” support association is a work of charity through its work helping those in need in India. Wouldn’t your participation and donation also be a work of love for you?

In addition to membership, we are happy about every individual donation:

Our first Christmas market appearance in Leimen

For the first time since our association was founded, we ran a hut at the traditional Leimen Christmas market. Our Indian sisters cooked delicious food together, which everyone could try. There was Tamil rice with meat or vegetables. Dessert was also provided. There were salty and sweet delicacies. Of course, mulled wine was a must. Anyone who wanted could try Indian black tea, which was refined with spices. The creative women's group from Nußloch made door and Advent wreaths for the association. Decorated Christmas trees to hang up, homemade jams and much more were also sold.

We would like to thank everyone who made it possible for our stand to take place at the Christmas market, who visited us and who, through their purchases, helped to support new social projects around the world.
