This Diwali, I visited a little village in the West Godavari District with my good friends Jessie & Nirmal. We went along to a small church which we fondly refer to as the Church of Instant Miracles. It was beautiful to see the pathway lit up with little oil lamps. A wonderful sight. From there, we visited the Carmel Convent. These nuns house a few girls who come from poor backgrounds. While most of the girls went home for the holiday, a few were left behind. They were so excited to see us and all the goodies that we had taken them. Their hearts welled up with happiness when they saw that we had taken a few Sparklers and chocolates! With squeals of delight, these youngsters had a great time and went to bed with a smile on their face. What was going to be a dark day for them, turned out to be a bright happy one because of Whispering Hope.
