Food Drive At Infant Jesus Children Home

Often abandoned by their families and boycotted by society, this home is a sanctuary for those affected by the deadly disease. This was performed on the day of Diwali, an auspicious Hindu festival celebrated by the entirety of India, as a way for the little children to join in the celebration nationwide.

Everyone received the tickets for the game the night before a...
