As of right now - we have $2480 raised! That's over half of the $4884 needed! ($407 per child times 12 children)
I wanted to introduce you to a few of these precious ones!
This is Vishal, He is 6 years old.
Known to break into spontaneous dance moves when least expected, this little one goes to the beat of his own drum. His big, black eyes quickly reveal what his mind is thinking and his heart is feeling, and he shows unusual empathy when other children are hurting or upset. Vishal was born into a brothel in Delhi. While his mother hoped to remove Vishal from those surroundings, she continues to live there and occasionally visits Vishal.
This is Rakesh. He is 9 years old.
Rakesh is a little man with a quiet sense of leadership. The older brother of Vinod and Primlal, he came from a household of alcohol abuse and domestic violence. Rakesh spent most of his time at home doing manual labor to maintain the household and occasionally attended government school. He loves to laugh and can be found telling and playing jokes with his friends and Meena, the cook. He is quite methodical with his schoolwork, can always be found helping with chores, and is one of the best chapati makers at Asha Mission. He seems to truly understand the Gospel and what it means to walk as a Christian. He is often found praying on his knees with his whole heart.
You can help!!!
