It is 4 July, and here there is another holiday. This one is rath yatra. It's a favourite for the people, but I have no desire to participate so I slipped over to the Cyber Cafe. I've got great news about one of my boys. His name is Ranjit. I've mentioned him to you before. He's a full orphan, the one who lost his mother in a fire and then his father to a heart attack. Well, the good news is that he's just gotten enrolled in College and has been going this week. I am absolutely delighted. Meanwhile, we've had some developments at the school. I think I had told you that we had mainstreamed 232 children. It is really an accomplishment. But there's a lot more to it. It seems that the local schools have been shamed, exposed, inspired by us, so they started a registration drive through the areas in which we had been working. It is amazing. Brother Christopher is upset about it, but I am delighted. That leaves us with 120 children now. But here's the thing: before we came to the area, none of those children had been going to school. Now they're all going to school, either to us or to the local government schools. And we simply don't have the facilities to handle over 350 children, which we would have if the school system had not finally taken notice and started doing their job. I see it as part of the miracle. And no telling how many more children were swept up in the registration drive and also are going to school. I'd say that's a long of bang for the buck, wouldn't you? It's what happens when one "speaks truth to power." This week we're paying the teachers and again, it all has come from Winona Meeting. Isn't that wonderful. It's probably the best forty dollars a month that anyone ever spent! I'm so grateful to God for blessing us with this opportunity to serve His Son.God bless thee and thy family. |
