WE NEED SPONSORS! Four more children have been added to the Sanctuary Home family, and we are currently in need of sponsors for one of our new children and two of our previously sponsored children. The children who are in need of a sponsor are Ravi Teja, Rebakha and Srinu. Rebakha and Srinu are not new to Sanctuary Home, so they do not require the fifty dollar start-up fee, but Ravi Teja will require the start-up fee as well as some additional medical costs. We aren't sure how much this will be until he is sponsored and taken to the doctor. Let me introduce our new children!
This is Ravi Teja.
As a reminder, here is a picture of Rebakha and one of Srinu.
Our three new children who are already sponsored are Kishore, Sravani, and Syamala.
Full profiles are not available yet for our new kids, but we will post them as soon as we get them. More information about Rebakha and Srinu is available on page labeled "The Children." Please join us in praising God and lifting these children in prayer as they join the Sanctuary Home family!

Good news! We got our FCRA number! If you don't know what that is, an FCRA number is the Indian government's equivalent to our U.S. 501(c)(3) number. Basically, this grants us official non-profit status in India! We have been working toward this goal and asking for your prayers concerning this matter for the past 18 months, and it has finally happened! This was a very difficult process, and at times the outcome looked uncertain, but we are thankful to God that this roadblock was eliminated. This will allow us to send money straight to Isaac and Sanctuary Home without being taxed and without incurring suspicion from the government. Up to now we've had to be careful about how much money we send and to whom, causing everyone a lot of stress, but finally we have been approved for Indian Non-Profit Status! Thank you, God, and thanks to all of you for your prayers!
Also, for those of you who have been trying to order photos from Flickr but have been unable, we have resolved the issue that was making that impossible. From now on, if you would like to order Sanctuary Home photos on Flickr, all you need to do is go to your Flickr account and add Sanctuary Home as your contact. We will receive an e-mail letting us know that you added us, and then we will add you, also. After that, it's smooth sailing! If you do not have a Flickr account, it is very easy to create one (and free!!), and we will be happy to walk you through any questions or problems you may have.
We have a new Flickr URL, also! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sanctuaryhome/ Hopefully this will make it even easier for you to remember our website and come see our photos!
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
