Most of the kids examinations are over now and we were all able to go to Church this morning in the midst of one of those heavy monsoon downpours! Mercifully the roads still hadn't flooded during our drive to St. Paul's and back and the vicinity of the Hope Home is strangely refusing to get flooded! We were recollecting the days when we had to move out the girls from the two rooms -  in the middle of the night- they shared before we built the new facilities! And the hours we spent to remove the flooded waters from the rooms, taking turns to empty the buckets in the field across our rooms! All that is now 'history'...we are so thankful to so many of you who gave sacrificially to make the new facilities a reality! How blessed we are!

The other news concerns the Gupta Brothers - Rohit (Noah) and Ranjit (Jonah). Their mother has been called in by the social welfare people on Wednesday, July 25 with the promise of having the boys released and handed over to her custody. Please pray that there would be no glitches in this process and that the boys would finally be set 'free' after more  than 4 months of captive confinement at the government sponsored welfare home.

We would keep you posted regarding the development/progress of the two boys.

Thank you all for all your encouragement and support, prayers and well-wishes for the Hope Home Calcutta and more importantly the boys and girls who make up our Hope Home family. Be blessed.
