Helping others can change the world, His Holiness Pope Francis’s message to people around the world . In helping those who are suffering, both young believers and nonbelievers can find "a strength that can change the world. “It is a revolution that can overturn the powerful forces at work in our world. It is the 'revolution' of service," he said in the message released by the Vatican. Life, he said, can only find meaning when serving God and others. "Love and charity, are service, helping others, serving others. There are many people who spend their lives in this way, in the service of others. … When you forget yourself and think of others, this is love! And with the washing of the feet the Lord teaches us to be servants, and above all, servants as He was a servant to us, for every one of us." Salem Social Service Society has reached 52 years of service in serving the poor and downtrodden people of Salem district. I am happy to present you the Annual Report of Salem Social Service Society - 2019 - 2020.
