We did it!!

Whispering Hope got into the role of the Easter Bunny and was kept busy throughout the South Indian summer. School fees were rustled up and the children that we have been sponsoring over the past few years continue with their studies. Not the best of destinations for a holiday, especially in the summer, but Guntur saw a couple of mothers and their young children come for a much needed break from their routines in Chennai. The train ride from Chennai to Guntur was thoroughly enjoyed by the kids and it was an interesting change. Staple food rations were distributed to a few families, new clothes given out to the ladies that we meet from time to time, pocket money given to the older ladies, and to top this all, Sagar - one of our proteges - was presented with a brand new cycle.

We would like to thank our sponsors for their kind contributions towards the above programs : Kudzai Chinhengo from Zimbabwe, Devrim Tuncay from Turkey, Helen and Ashley Bakes from Sydney, Pam and Ashraf from Melbourne, Biju Damodaran from Muscat, Balu and our annonymous angel from Mumbai, Anita and Kevin Mawdsley from Chennai. Thanks Guys - you were wonderful!!
