My name is Abi and I will be joining The Sisters of the Holy Cross in Kottiyam, Kerala, India for 6 months leaving in Sept 2025. The Sisters of the Holy Cross are a religious order known for their involvement in healthcare and education. My time will be split between Kottayam Hospital palliative care unit and Pratheekhsa Special School Neendakara. I will be staying and living alongside the sisters joining their volunteering program.
