TIRELESS SHIBU

Shibu’s wonderful work in Trivandrum Medical College Hospital has finally been officially recognised with an award.

For many years Shibu has worked tirelessly as a volunteer in the hospital, acting as a bystander for patients who have no-one to look after them and who would not be admitted otherwise – feeding them, washing them, getting their medicines, tending their wounds and so on.  For the neediest patients, this can involve 24/7 care, in which case Shibu sleeps under their bed.  He has an excellent reputation with the nursing staff, who will often alert him to other needs in the hospital.  He receives a small wage from HHIUK, as well as an allowance towards his lodgings and a contribution to his pension scheme.

He is truly inspirational!

And the award ceremony got into the local news!
