This is truly unbelievable. In the name of social welfare and child welfare, the Child Welfare Committee in Calcutta has still not released Ranjit and Rohit from one of their sponsored 'homes' and although some big talks and tall promises made by them, they have not been enrolled in any school (both should have been in Grade 5), neither are they permitted to attend their violin and guitar classes. Their mother, who made contact with us after 6 years was here in Calcutta, but due to a technical hitch was not allowed to take custody of her own children...and then to have a dear friend of ours comment that the government is just doing their duty !! We are now planning to take this to the human rights commission in India and the world too must know what is happening to our two boys...
                                                          Rohit (Noah) and Ranjit (Jonah)
                                                              ...with Amit on Saturday
                                                      ...with Supriyo, our Administrator
Mercifully, we are able to visit them and carry food, snacks, clothes etc and also spend quality time with the two brothers. The challenge is compounded because the mother does not live in Calcutta and cannot come over whenever necessary without any escort. Please keep praying.
