THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, SPONSORS CONTRIBUTE $50 PER MONTH TO ASSIST AN INDIAN PASTOR TO TAKE THE CHILD INTO THEIR HOME AS PART OF THEIR FAMILY. WHEN VISITING IN NOVEMBER, DON AND KATHY AND THE REST OF THE TEAM WERE ABLE TO MEET WITH MOST OF THEM TO HEAR THEIR STORIES. OVERSEEN BY A BOARD OF INDIAN MEN, ROUTINE VISITS ARE CONDUCTED TO INSURE THAT THE CHILDREN ARE DOING WELL. THEY ARE ALL IN SCHOOL AND MOST OF THEM ARE THRIVING.CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE OINDIAN ORPHANAGESWE FULLY SUPPORT TWO DIFFERENT ORPHANAGES IN INDIA. ONE IS IN TERALA AND THE OTHER IS IN VIJIYAWADA.
