A brief explanation about the JMJ Convent
Physically Rehabilitation Centre was started in 3rd August 1995 for the poor handicapped children by Rev. Fr. B Marreddy and handed over the complete building to J M J sisters with all the facilities including Physiotherapy Unit. Work started with three sisters – Sr. Helen Madanu, Sr. Josephtini Thekkekara and Sr. Bridgit Govindu.
Sisters did not stop with that, but started development with more facility. Like whole house was fixed by rail to hold and walk and to sleep good iron cot and beds. The children enjoy learning, singing and dancing. The building is spacious with ample ventilation, acquit lighting facilities, systematic kitchen with well-equipped vessels, a head tank with uninterrupted water supply, rooms with attached toilets with proper drainage facilities, T V, VCR, fridge, inverter, water purifier, and a big play ground.
