hospice

At 79, Dr Luis Jose De Souza still makes his way to Shanti Avedna Sadan, India's first hospice, where he is the founder and managing trustee. He tells us what it's like to provide free palliative care for terminally ill cancer patients.

Today he is ‘Solomon Appa’ to 45 HIV+ kids. Yes, 45. All through the Shelter Trust, a registered non-profit and a safe haven for kids once abandoned and left to fend on their own.

Mansi and Abhishek started Happy Feet Home, the first hospice for children in India, a place which fills happiness in the lives of kids with terminal illnesses. "If a child has just a week left to live, we make sure that it is the happiest week of his or her life," says the Happy Feet team. Know more about their heartwarming work.
