KUALA LUMPUR – One may be forgiven for thinking this year’s Deepavali celebration is dampened by the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing economic downturn.

However, Mother A. Mangalam, who has devoted the better part of her life to humanitarian causes, including raising orphans and homeless children, does not see it this way.

At 94, the life president of Pure Life Society brimmed with enthusiasm and benevolence during a recent in-house presentation of goodies and clothes to the young residents of the society’s orphanage, in conjunction with the Festival of Lights. – The Vibes, November 14, 2020
