Yes, we've done it! Phase 1 is complete and the orphanage has 36 out of apossible 40 children living there. Now it's time for Phase 2.Phase 2, The next level. When we built the orphanage in 2007/8 the foundations and structure was built andstrengthened to support a second storey. That is where we are now. The 1st. Floor has nearly reached its capacity and we need to expand upwards. As you can see in the photographs below, the roof already has steps leading up to it, and when you get there, there is a large expanse of concrete with walls around the sides, and low pillars that are ready for fixing the required steel work needed to build full height pillars for the next level.We are now looking for the finance to build this second floor and we need all the help we can get. Are you able to help us find the resources to extend the orphanage and take even more children in off the streets?. There is a very real need for our intervention, and when I say our, I mean our, yours and mine and every one else who can spare a financial gift, and/or regular sponsorship and/or a little time to help raise funds for this genuine cause.

As he walked further along the beach he came to a young boy who was throwing a starfish back into the sea. The man said to him “why are you doing that, there are thousands of these starfish on the beach, what difference will that make ?” The boy answered “it will make a difference to that one sir.”You see, we know that there are thousands upon thousands of orphaned, unwanted children living on the street of India, and we know we can not help them all. But we can make a difference to some of the children, and with your help we can make a difference to even more.We have taken in twenty two children and have room for another eighteen in our purpose built orphanage. Please help us if you can by giving a gift to help with the running costs of the orphanage or by sponsoring a child.
The story written below has come to be almost like our motto, where instead of feeling hopeless and giving up, we feel that we are doing something about the situation and are able to keep going.
The boy and the Starfish
One day a man was walking along a beach when he saw that all along the high tide mark there was thousands upon thousands of starfish stranded by the ebbing tide. He looked closely at them and could see hundreds of little tentacles on their underside moving without effect as the hot sun slowly baked them to death.
