Welcome to The Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles International

Our organisation is a global network of medical and health professionals, private volunteers and concerned individuals on five continents, dedicated to alleviating the plight of suffering humanity and to providing essential supplies and services to needy and disadvantaged people of the world, wherever they may be.

Working closely with other aid agencies, governments, local NGO’s, national leaders, community groups and corporations, The Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles obtains and distributes medical, pharmaceutical, domestic and educational supplies in programmes that respond to disaster relief requests, health and education needs and regional development projects.

The Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles was founded and inspired by the international world harmony leader Sri Chinmoy. Our projects are carried out by members of the international Sri Chinmoy Centres. We have no political, religious or corporate affiliations and are entirely staffed by volunteers who organise the collection, storage, transportation and distribution of all materials to their worldwide destinations.

Feature projects

Angola where it began

More than 40 years of civil war in Angola came to an end in April 2002 with the historic signing of a peace agreement. Soon after, an urgent request to The Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles was made to help strengthen the peace by sending humanitarian assistance to the country. Immediately The Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles world-wide began sending large amounts of pharmaceuticals, medical and surgical supplies, food, clothing and more to Angola.

"Drawings of love" for children in Indonesia

One of our most successful international projects was the Drawings of Love, through which 22,000 children from 30 countries send drawings and messages of affection, which were distributed to the thousands of children orphaned by the tsunami 2005 in Banda Aceh.

After the earthquake in May, 2006 we delivered thousands of Kids to Kids packs to the affected area in Yogyakarta, Bantul and Klaten. Ten thousand school packs with school supplies were distributed in partnership with Khalsa Aid bringing great joy to the children.
