The following five instances show that the communal harmony too exist in the region.

*55 year-old Bhavani Shetty, a resident of Alape in Saripalla road, Mangaluru, has been ill for quite some time now. She lives alone as her husband and only son are no more. Her shack has no toilet or electricity. A team Hidaaya Foundation, a Mangaluru based Muslim philanthropic group, visited her house ensured the construction of a toilet in her house.

*Aithppa, who resides behind Divyajyothi School, Vamanjoor along with other Koragas, is a 44 year-old and is bed-ridden from the last 7 years. He is unmarried and is being taken care of by a family there. The team that visited him has promised to sponsor his medicines.

*Mohini and her mother are leading a very difficult life along with her 4 sisters, in Iruvail’s Kettikal. 3 of them are sick. They are not sure of any future they might have. The team that visited them has promised to provide them with food supplies for 1 year.

Lily Mary of Vamanjoor Dharmajyoti informed the Hidaya Foundation about the situation of these families and joined them. A Christian woman joining hands with a Muslim foundation to help Hindu and Christians has set a whole new example of communal harmony in the coastal district where Communal violence is what everybody has been witnessing lately.
