Rachel was finally able to make it to the Hope Home this evening - albeit only for an hour or so. Her father reached her to the pick up point when the other male members as also the mother was away (the Muslims celebrated the festival of Eid yesterday) and a couple of our staff picked her up and brought her to the Hope Home. She was REALLY, REALLY  happy and so were the rest of the Hope Home Calcutta family. But soon after she left and even before she could reach back home, we started receiving telephone calls - some threatening - that she should not have come over to the Hope Home. Her father DENIED that he ever accompanied her upto the pick up place and everyone was very, very agitated. They have threatened to come over to the Hope Home tomorrow morning. Please pray for Rachel's own safety and protection and also for all of us at the Hope Home Calcutta. Pray that better sense would prevail and she be allowed to resume her stay nearby and also her education in our school program. Would keep all of you posted as and when further developments takes place!
