What an amazing three days since Sunday. I went and visited the children we had been sponsoring and I am so thrilled to see how well they are doing and how happy they are in their new home at Asha Arundonoy for the girls and at Asha Neer for the boys. The home is managed by seven sisters and they are so loving and nuturing. I got to spend half a day meeting the children and chatting with the nuns. It is such a comforting feeling knowing they will be well cared by the sisters. For the boys, the brothers take good care of the children and teach them skills and proper manners. All children receive their academic by attending private schooling outside the facilities and vocational learning at the facilities. I have never seen children more happy at any time in my entire life than at the homes here at Don Bosco.
Today, I went into the slum near the Ghandi Center and spoke with a few families living on the streets. I think I will be sponsoring two of the girls, maybe three that I met. I spoke with their families about the opportunity to attend school and they were excited at possibly going. However, they don’t want to attend boarding school because it would mean not being with their families. I was very touched to see how much they show love for each other and not wanting to be separated.
I spoke with Sister Mercy Maria about other schools to send the children and she recommended Saint George School. It is a free private school that operates on donations. So as I was speaking with the families and the three girls, I am thinking I will register the girls into Saint George. The girls are amazingly kind, beautiful, and loving. They work really hard at the Ghandi Center and are the most well mannered and polite kids I have met. And though it will not be a boarding school they will attend, my instinct tells me they will do well if they are given a chance.

In the slum, they earn a living by straightening used nails (1 rupee for 1 kg nails), making belts (1.5 rupee per belt) and other clothing accessories at similar wages, and sorting plastics and botttles (1-2 rupees per kg).
