Bhagat Puran Singh lived a life devoted to serving others. While he was homeless, he begged for money not to nourish himself, but for those who were even less fortunate than himself. Starting with nothing, Bhagat Puran Singh cared for an abandoned child diagnosed with leprosy. Eventually, he was able to build the largest free health care institution in Northern India, called Pingalwara (Home for the Handicapped and Abandoned). Where Bhagat Puran Singh dedicated his life to serve those in need, we hope to make a mark on the world by striving to live as he did, by providing basic health care screening and nutrition advice at our clinics held locally at the Buena Park Singh Sabha Gurdwara.
