It's been a gruelling past three weeks and we are sustaining on gallons of cold water and ice-cream! Mangoes are also being sold cheap this year because of heat and we are having a feast every other day!
The week long summer camp for children was a blessing to all the boys and girls. A few of our guys have now been given additional responsibilities on Sundays at the St. Paul's Cathedral morning services - handing out welcome packets to first-time visitors to the Church! Many are keen to see Ruth being part of the music program of the Church in due time.
Ruth meanwhile has assumed responsibilities of trainee-teacher at the Kolkata Music Academy of Abraham Mazumder since the first week of June! Her empowerment is near-complete and now it's her turn to equip others!
Anupam (Amos) seems to have grown up quite a bit during the two months he was at the government sponsored welfare home! He is happy, truly happy to be able to daily meet up with his brothers and sisters.
The heat has also the government to issue a circular to all concerned to reopen schools only after June 17th (after summer vacations). We get to enjoy the heat a few more days before classes start!
One of the greatest surprises we had was that we were able to meet up with the mother of Ranjit and Rohit (Jonah and Noah) along with their sister. Amazingly she just walked into our office last week. We were able to arrange for them to meet up with the boys at the social welfare home last Saturday. In all probability, the two of them would be handed over to the mother soon after we are able to provide documentation for them (they had no documents when we took them in). Pray for wisdom as we relocate them and help them to pursue their music training and education.
Sumila and Grace are schedule to return back to Calcutta today after meeting up with Lydia, Mary, Anjanli and Junmoni. There should be tons of photographs available on the blog after they return.
Thanks for standing with us over the past three months as the boys and girls continue to stand for justice and freedom and truth. Blessings, Dev
