Saranya Christy (age 7) - Saranya's father died in 2004 of AIDS. Her mother is also affected with the AIDS virus, but it is currently in remission. Even before her father's death, life was very hard for Saranya, her mother, and her brother. After his death, life became even more stressful and the family fell into severe poverty. Saranya's mother works eleven hours every day, making only around $1 per day. This is not nearly sufficient to provide for Saranya and her brother.

Saranya usually had no breakfast, and for lunch would have to eat government-rationed rice at school. This rice is stale and yellow with lots of black specks. In the US, grain like this would probably be fed only to livestock. It smells and tastes very bad. Each night, Saranya's family would have to eat this bad rice again for dinner. Her home was a very small one-room house that the neighbors had supplied for them, but it sat on a steep rocky slope, making it dangerous just to come and go to her home. Saranya would have to sleep on the damp floor inside this small, dungeon-like house each night.

Just recently, the neighbors asked her family to move and the mother had nowhere to take her family. Saranya's mother shared that there was no other person in this world for her suffering and starving kids, but herself. But when she heard about Independent Church in India's Home of Compassion by another guardian that had also brought children there, she immediately brought her children to the orphanage. After seeing the orphanage, Saraya's mother shared, "I have found that this orphanage is showing love and care, is having joyful programs, and a nice bed and food, and that my children will grow in Gods ways. I believe that my kids will be happy to live here and will be cared for in love". Saranya and her younger brother Anthony (age 5) are both very happy to be living at the orphanage.

| We will share more testimonies in the future of the children living at the orphanage. In order to fill the orphanage with all 24 happy children, we are still in need of people who would like to sponsor a child for $30 per month. This will help to provide to give one special child a place to live at this beautiful home, a healthy balanced diet, good water, medical provision, education, clothes, toys and more. Each sponsor will receive pictures and information about their child and will have the opportunity to write letters, send photos, and even come to visit! Those who cannot make a monthly commitment of $30 may sponsor the orphanage itself for any amount. This will allow us to purchase much-needed supplies, pay the staff workers, and pay the bills to keep the orphanage running. This is a wonderful way you can get personally involved in helping to change the lives of needy children. To sponsor a child or the orphanage please click here
