Our group of sponsored children the first year I visited them

Wow!  Even I would love to teach in one of these kindergarten classrooms!

This is the bathroom where the children used to live before going to live in the hostel :-(

This is their kitchen area in the homes of these children previous to being moved to the hostel

Above are pictures of the group of children we support, the beautiful classrooms they attend and the conditions they came from. 

Going to India again!

I can't believe I have agreed to go back to the trenches!  Three of us are joining Razia again on November 19th to visit the children and their families.  

 Here is our latest status report sent to our existing sponsors:

Your interest in supporting our work with ultra-poor children/families is humbly appreciated. Our Education program is really taking off, by the Grace of God, we now have around 75 children sponsored and 25 families with welfare needs.  Our number of sponsors is 33 to date and growing just as much. We have five volunteers doing this work with Razia Suleman.  The  sponsor program is being looked after by me,  Nusrat Hassam.  If you know anyone else who would like to sponsor a child, this would be a good time as we will be picking up new children in India.

If you know anyone else who may want to make a one-time donation (anything from $50 and over) for all 100% of the fund (no admin fees retained) to benefit the ultra poor families/children while we are there in India, please approach them and give them our contact information.
