Today, I visited Father George Myppan at Ashalayam, Don Bosco and he allowed me to take some photos of the boys at play. These boys were at one time homeless, living on the streets of Kolkata. They were rough street kids, either begging or sorting through trash and often getting into trouble on the streets. But because they were given an opportunity, they are now respectful young boys working towards a better future.

In the photo above is Fr. Myppan with one of the boys at Ashalayam. Sunday is a rest day so the children are given free time to play soccer and crickets. In the last photo is a young boy who is fairly new to Ashalayam. He is in 4th grade, quite shy, but he is well-mannered due to the nurturing environment.
Father Myppan has arranged for me to meet with the five children we have already sponsored next Sunday. To date, they are doing well and next week, I will have a chance to see first hand how they are coping with life off the streets and away from their families. I just hope they will continue to take full advantage of the opportunity they are given.
Please, continue to help these children however you can through prayers and kindness.
