For Now...Finished..But More Work & Challenges Ahead

Yesterday, we brought five children to Don Bosco and left them there to be care for and provided with education. Two more will be added next month due to medical reason and Sisters from MC will bring them in for us. So in the end, we sponsored a total of 20 children during this past 4 months. Combining it with last year, we now have sponsored 25 children putting them into Don Bosco with an opportunity for a better future.

Although we were only planning to sponsor 15 children on this trip, it was difficult to deny the children the opportunity when they want so much to have a chance for a better life. We have many on a waiting list so we are hoping to find sponsors for them when December comes when we will again try to get more children off the street and into boarding school.

Currently, we have 25 children in Don Bosco with 19 children fully sponsored and 6 children partially sponsored for 1.5 years. Somehow, we will find more money for those six children.

The next task is now to find sponsors or money for the six children who are partially sponsored. We are also hoping to find donation to provide savings for each of the children we are putting into boarding school so that when they complete their studies at Don Bosco, they will have a nice nest egg to begin their new life whether it is to help pay for their college tuition (if they can make it) or to be able to pay for an actual house/apartment to rent.

But for now, the work here in Kolkata is finished for me. I don’t know what I will be doing from now until December when I planned to return to Kolkata, but I hope I will be able to lay to rest for at least a short time before I am called to work again. Where He leads me is where I will go.
