Father Placido Fonseca S.J. has been with Snehasadan for over 40 years and has been the pillar for the success of the organization. He says, “On the streets children are exposed to every vile and filth that a city offers and they are easy victims. Many of them are minus an arm or a leg, while moving in and out of running trains. Several die and no one cares. Their numbers are increasing as more and more children pour into the city. They want a quick trade which brings in money immediately. They have different needs – some of which have to be met soon. They are our tomorrow, and only if we can respond to their need, lift them off the street and give them a reason to live their life can I say that I have done my duty. To achieve this none of us is as strong as all of us. If we put our hands, hearts and heads together I am sure Mumbai will be different because of us.”
