6th graders with great big hearts!

Just as Summer is in full swing here, monsoon rains are beginning in West Bengal.  The children's home in Kakdwip does not have glass in the windows.  You can imagine how wet it gets inside the building during monsoon season.  

Recently, a 6th grade teacher in New York contacted us.  Her class was just beginning a unit on India and as she was showing a powerpoint she'd created, the students started saying they wanted to raise money for needy children in India.    

Their teacher was amazed at their big hearts.  And we are, too!  After discussing options, they decided to do a class fundraiser with a goal to raise $571.21 to provide the glass for the windows in Kakdwip.  We just received news that their fundraiser was a success and they reached the goal.

Their big hearts reached all the way to India to help those less fortunate than themselves.  Kindness wins!  

Thank you to Mrs. Malysza's 6th grade class at Enterprise Charter School.  You are an inspiration to the world!

Good Food

Do you worry about where your next meal will come from?  

Most of us in the United States may worry about whether or not we have the ingredients on hand to make a meal, but we rarely worry that we won't get to eat.  

That's not the case for many children living in poverty in India:

  • 42% of children under the age of 5 are underweight.
  • 58% of children under 5 were stunted.

Starvation and malnutrition keep children trapped in the cycle of poverty.  

That's why nutritious meals are a key component of both the Special Needs Orphan Project, and the Career Pathways Project.  

Good food is fuel for the brain!  

These children deserve every opportunity to grow strong and achieve their dreams.
