    I am surprised to read your comment Judy regarding Father Godwin. He was my physics teacher and hostel warden. I came from a poor family hence couldnot afford to pay the college fees etc. Father helped me to complete my studies. Like me he helped so many poor students without much publicity. Today I am well settled in life it is only becasue of Father. You may have some bitter experience but remember "Jesus did only good but people crucified him". I shall pray for you.

    Dear Fr.Ambrose. Congratulations. I am so pleased today that at last you have received some recognition for consistently standing for what is right in spite of the odds, for the downtrodden and often forgotten folks in our country without craving for any recognition or awards. You have been a great inspiration for me in my formative years and you have been the same all through the 30 odd years that I have grown admiring you and following in your footsteps. May God bless you always and give you the strength and health to continue with all your good deeds.
