WE BROUGHT LEAH WHEN SHE WAS JUST 11 MONTHS OLD...TO SAVE HER FROM PERPETUAL POVERTY AND LACK OF EVEN A TWO-MEAL-A-DAY DIET. FROM DAY ONE -RIGHT FROM THE AIRPORT-GOD OVERFLOWED MY HEART WITH LOVE FOR THIS INFANT AND I DECIDED TO RAISE HER UP ...TILL THAT POINT, NONE AT THE HOPE HOME KNEW TO CHANGE DIAPERS, GIVE BATH TO AN INFANT OR FEED HER. WE BEGAN CONSULTING A WELL-KNOWN PAEDIATICIAN IN CALCUTTA AND GOT HER ALL THE MANDATORY SHOTS. ALMOST EVERYONE WHO VISITED US WANTED TO ADOPT HER...SHE WAS AND STILL IS THAT ADORABLE!
LEAH TOO WENT THROUGH THE HELLISH CONDITIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT SPONSORED 'HOME' FOR 20 DAYS IN MARCH BEFORE BEING TAKEN BACK TO NAGALAND FOR A FEW DAYS. SHE NOW STAYS WITH RUTH (WHO IS RAISING HER UP) AND HER ELDER SISTER KIM -BOTH RUTH AND KIM ARE ON STAFF HERE AT HOPE HOME CALCUTTA!
OCTOBER 25, WE WERE ABLE TO CELEBRATE HER 3RD BIRTHDAY WITH A SMALL PARTY. THE CHILDREN TOO POOLED IN THEIR RESOURCES AND BOUGHT GIFTS FOR HER. AND NOW, EVEN AFTER A FULL 24 HOURS IS OVER, LEAH KEEPS ON SINGING 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEAH...'TO KEEP HER ENTERTAINED!
ONE OF THE GREATEST JOYS FOR ME PERSONALLY AND THE HOPE HOME CALCUTTA FAMILY...LEAH!
