PRAISES!

Tarun passed to 1st standard!...... it's been a long first year getting Tarun used to structure and homework. It took many times explaining to Tarun the importance of studying. When he first began school he was excited but then the excitement wore off when he found he lost play time because he had to do homework! We are just grateful to God for His strength to continue in this. Tarun is very pleased now! He went from being 17 in the class to being 10 in the class. Great improvement over all and excellent scores at the end!

This past Saturday I had decided to shut the program down for 3 months while I was in the U.S. Finances have been lean and we weren't meeting the overall budget. However, God's timing, always perfect, changed my mind on Sunday morning. I received an email from a couple who have been friends of mine for a long time and have supported, encouraged, and prayed for us over the years. Even though they are already contributing a large sum each month for the work they decided to pick up the rest of the new budget! I don't have to close the program and when I shared with the staff yesterday of the news, they were overwhelmed! We sat together yesterday and prayed and praised God for His miraculous hand. We look forward to Friday morning, even though everyone should be off, we are meeting together for a time of praise and worship in humble appreciation.
