A Busy and Frustrating Day Getting Documents for the Children

I wish everyone is having a wonderful day. As for me, yesterday was a busy and frustrating day. We took the children to Don Bosco only to hear that they may not get accepted because they do not have addresses and other documents. I am not sure how we will be able to get all the children in if any now. They need to have a counselor letter from child welfare and a letter of request from someone who thinks they are at risk if they remain on the streets. Anyway, the Sisters of Charity will provide us with letters of request so all we need is to have these families go to child welfare to get the counselor letters.

The first photo is an outdoor market in Kadamtala on the way to visit the slum in Howrah. The child is one we hope to sponsor in a year or two when she is a little older and qualifies to get admitted into Don Bosco.

I hope God is listening and will help these children to get the documents they need. And I hope the director at Don Bosco has a soft heart and will help these children get in. Worse comes to worse, I can always extend my stay until they I can help them get the proper paper works. July and August will not be something I would look forward to experience since June will be bad enough.

Well, take care and I hope everyone is enjoying good coffee wherever you are. My 2 kilos of dark French roast coffee I brought with me is now down to two weeks supply. June will be a miserable month without good coffee in the morning.

Thank you for the help and support and wishing everyone a pleasant and wonderful day.
