New Orphans Given Love And A New Home At Hebron

The blessing of being able to provide for new children in need.

Sagar Jalli provides this update with photos from Hebron.

We are pleased and give thanks that a donor from the USA has made a substantial donation to Hebron to enable the hiring of 3 Government-required employees so that the girls dorm at Hebron can remain open at the orphanage without all the girls being removed and the dorms shut down.   This is the matron at the girls dorm supervising recess and games in the courtyard at Hebron.

These four girls were rescued by the government while begging on the streets.  They were sent to Hebron last week. Sagar is pleased that in this case the government recognized that Hebron is the best facility for taking care of the orphan children in India.

This boy, P. Caleb. was rescued two weeks ago while begging on the streets. His father abandoned him and his Mother died on the streets.  Hebron brings smiles to kids who normally would never have a reason to smile.

For the first time in the 47 year history of the orphanage, an abandoned child with dwarfism now calls Hebron home.  Sagar says “I felt very sad when this boy asked me to pray for the unification of the parents who left him and gone in their own ways. I prayed. Of course we both prayed.”

As always happens at Hebron, the new children soon find the happiness, joy and love of caretakers and fellow orphans who gleefully spend their playtime playing various games, especially the State-sport of kabadi – which is similar to ‘tag’ and ‘steal the bacon’.

         As always, the ability to provide for these abandoned and neglected children at Hebron comes from the generosity of brethren and people in the United States and other churches in the West.
