The Shunem Home, India ...
the Christadelphian Shunem Home...
The home is situated to the south west of Hyderabad, India and was established in 1999 by Tim and Sarah Galbraith as a home for the children of street lepers. Over the years that home has grown and now has a dual role, it continues to be a home to 74 children between the ages of 2 and 18, but it is also a care home for 11 elderly residents. The young and the elderly live, work and play side by side in a secure and loving environment which is based upon a love and joy of God's Word the Bible.
The primary role of the home is to provide for the basic physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of both the elderly and the young... i.e. food, shelter, clothing, education... friendship, mentoring, love, affection, guidance... and faith. The hope being that the vicious social and cultural stigma and prejudicial circle associated with leprosy can be overcome and that these children will then be able to support their own extended families through employment.
