The Vaishnavas C.A.R.E. project continues to expand as a new chapter has formed at ISKCON Delaware, USA. In April 2023, two of the three Vaishnavis who started the local Delaware Vaishnavas C.A.R.E. team attended the official “Art of Caring for Vaishnavas” seminar that took place at ISKCON Philadelphia, presented by Sangita Devi Dasi. Bhaktins Jenna and Sherri were inspired by this much-needed service and formed a team with Bhaktin Staci to assist devotees during their times of need.
Bhaktin Jenna has been drawn to supporting others in difficult circumstances for most of her life. She performed with a dance group at nursing homes during her childhood and became a physical therapy assistant and a massage therapist, supporting patients recovering from illness and injury and suffering from chronic pain. After being introduced to the Krsna consciousness movement nearly two years ago, Jenna became drawn to the Karuna Care mission through their grief support groups and the Vaishnavas C.A.R.E. project. She was very driven to learn how to support others through end-of-life care. After attending the Vaishnavas C.A.R.E. workshop in Philadelphia, she had the honor of assisting her grandmother at the end of her life, applying her newly developed skills.
