I visited Ashalayam today to learn that three of the children we sent there got a bit sad and are missing their mothers. This is common and when it happens, we notify the parents to come for a brief visit and to assure their children this is a good place for them and their future. After a few weeks, the children usually adjust to their new environment and meet new friends to help keep them from being sad.
When I met with the Director of Don Bosco today, we had a good chat about getting the rest of the children into the facility. I will not go into the detail of the meeting, but we managed to convince him to help us with the children. So it looks like we are now able to bring in all the children we intended to bring in and maybe more as we are getting more people wanting to sponsor children. There are so many children we have paperwork for admission, but we have no sponsors for them so for now, they are placed on a waiting list until we can find people willing to help. With grace from above, the children will not have to wait too long…hopefully.
