Warmth for Ramdular Community: Blanket Distribution Brings Relief to Families

Ivan D'Silva, SVD

A compassionate parish initiative touched the lives of families in Ramdular Village during the Christmas season of 2025. In preparation for the celebration of Christmas, the Pastoral Council of St. Raphael Parish, Kamranga, approved a plan to distribute blankets and clothing to 25 needy families in the Kamalpur Sub-Division of Dhalai District, Tripura.
Christmas Peace Rally participants arrived joyfully in Kamalpur to share warmth and solidarity.

The parish’s Marian Association took the lead in coordinating the effort, collecting, sorting, and bundling donated items. They also organized a Christmas Peace Rally with a convoy of vehicles to transport parishioners and supplies to the village on 21 December.

Blankets for the campaign were provided by generous donors, while clothing—including many items sent from benefactors in Goa via courier—came from parish families. Local leader Mr. Daud Munda assisted in identifying and selecting the beneficiary families.

Parishioners of all ages joined the journey, singing Christmas carols along the way and personally distributing blankets and garments to each household. The spirit of Christmas was felt throughout the visit, marked by joy, solidarity, and gratitude.

The parish community expressed thanks to the Infant Jesus for the smooth execution of the program and extended sincere appreciation to all donors for their continued generosity and support.
