Letter From Bubli, India

Dearest Pat,

How are you doing ? I am doing fine by the grace of the Lord. All of us here and all the children are praying for you everyday. I found a remote village with untouchable people. Those people are very downcast in the society. I found that there are some orphan children too. It would not be possible for us to bring them here to our orphanage so I am planning about visiting them sometimes and share food with them. I also discovered that they are carrying many diseases in them. I talked to the village leader if he would let the orphan children in their village to join our orphanage, but he is not willing. If God helps us, in the future I wish we would go and help the kids there. We may be needed to start a small children's home just for the kids there. Everything else is fine here. Children are going to school. I was very angry with the teachers of the school. The school teachers, on seeing that our children do not have parents, are asking our children to do all the work at school. While other children are playing, our children are working, washing dishes of teachers, supplying water to their bathrooms, etc. I noticed it a few times but I thought they are doing it on schedule basis, I mean, alternatingly, some children work and some children play. But when I learnt that it is mostly our children most of the time, I was very angry with them. The teachers are not very happy with me. I reported this to the headmaster and told that I will take this matter to higher oficials. The children are excited with their new books and new classes. I also bought a net for a swing and they are greatly excited about that. Every now and then when they have a break, they will come and swing in it, counting 25 swings each. I am also thinking of buying a video game. Please continue praying for me. I am praying for you everyday. God Bless You.
In His Service, Bubbles.

Can you see why I am consumed to build a Childrens Home in India?
