After spending eight months in Kolkata (the first four months from August-December 2012 and the last four months from March-June 2013), I have come to learn a lot about myself, my faith, and about my future. At least for the next ten years, my life will be connected to Kolkata until the children are finished with Don Bosco and graduate. That is if we do not sponsor any more children. So as long as we sponsor at least one child each year, my life and work will be here in Kolkata until God say I can rest.
I cannot say if what I do makes any difference; only God knows that. All I know is that I have been given an opportunity to do something and I did not say, “No” to Him. I will probably end up poor and dying poor, but that means some of the children will end up having better lives…I hope and pray. I am not rich by any standard, but running a newly formed non-profit foundation and being a teacher pretty much define my wealth. I am not going to try to convince anyone what I do is right or wrong; only God can make that judgement. For those who have helped me; you have been a blessing from Him.

To say it has been a difficult journey is not correct, but it is not wrong to say either. There has been many challenges and obstacles in the way and many times wanting to just give up completely. But then there has been some rays of hope and good things happened. Along the way, wonderful people have come along to help. However, I have also lost or left many people on this journey and I just pray God will keep keep them safe and loved.
For now, my time in Kolkata has come to an end so this will be my last entry until my return in December. Thank you with all my heart to everyone who has helped in sponsoring, donating supplies, supporting and praying for the children.
