The mission statement
of the ACTS OF MERCY is as simple as the boy in the
story, "Small things done with great love".
Established in the year 1998, it is a non-profit organization
with a volunteer force mainly consisting of students,
housewives and currently music aficionados who frequent
the Unwind Center for the various music events. Its
aim is to work with vulnerable people and needy communities
by making a positive change in their lives through
random acts of kindness.
The first such expression
took place in December 1997 during the floods in Perambur,
Chennai. A team of about 10 people took it upon themselves
to provide a meal for those in the affected areas.
This was an eye-opener and a rewarding experience
to all those who were part of it. This was the beginning!
Ever since, Acts of Mercy has been organizing simple
and random acts of kindness involving the community
on a regular basis. The goal is to encourage people
of this community to do small things in great love.
