The Children

Some of the children shown on this site are without a sponsor, although all forty-eight currently live in Sanctuary Home. Previously, they lived on the streets. Those classified as orphans have no parents to care for them. Those classified as semi-orphans were also in a merciless situation: they have one living parent who has remarried, and according to their culture, they are not welcome in the new household. Some have a parent who can't care for them, and some have been abandoned. All of these children need to have their physical needs met, as well as their emotional needs and an education. If you would like to sponsor a child, please email us to find out which children need sponsors at this time. Update: All forty-eight children are sponsored. Once we complete the new SH building, we will need sponsors for an additional twenty children.

Sai Kumar already has a sponsor.

Child profiles by P. Isaac, Tenali, India.

Here is a boy by name Sai Kumar whose story grieves us very much. During Sister’s auspicious visit to us we got a privilege to go for picnic to one of the beaches by name Suryalanka beach. When S.H children were taking food in the beach we found this boy asking  us for food .We gave him little food. According to his grandmother, he lost his both the parents. She was in the beach doing a business of selling dry fish. She expressed her inability for she cannot feed him and she is not even having proper house to stay in. Sister was very much informed about the pathetic condition of this boy. Sister took out the picture of this boy and asked him to stay in touch with me. After  Sister’s departure from us to U.S she asked us to keep him in S.H . We are very much grateful to Sis.Amanda for permitting the boy to be with S.H children. Now the boy is very much happy with other children of S.H.
 

That was before...this is after...

Because Sai Kumar moved into SH after we left India, I didn't have the privilege of interviewing him. When we have an update on him, I will post it here.
