Our Kid!

One of the things that we have committed to do for at least a year is the sponsorship of a Dalit child. The Dalits are the "untouchables" in South Asia especially in India. They are regarded as the lowest caste in society who are not only poor but rejected by society as they do the dirtiest of the jobs. As a result many are trapped in this social cycle with very little means to improve themselves. Education is one great means to help them. The child we are sponsoring is Harish Edam, age 6 from a village called Pellakur in Andhra Pradesh, India. Here is something that young Harish has sent to us to keep us posted on his progress. Pray for him that he will grow up and find purpose and meaning in life.
