Thank you for your generosity for the children in India this
month and throughout the year! We are so thankful for your partnership that
fuels the work in India. We labor hard for the kingdom and you give whatever
you can- thank you.
So far month we have seen individuals, dance classes, youth
groups, churches and families give for the work in India. We still have many
needs and ask you to continue to read these updates and pray about what you can
give- or who you can share this with.
The newspaper this week reported that this is the coldest
November on record in central India. We can tell! This morning I woke up and
opened our front door. A damp fog (or is it the Diwali pollution?) was in the
air and I could see my neighbor who was up early. He was wearing a lungi (a men’s
wrap around skirt), wool shawl, knit hat and flip- flops. Of course we all look
wonderful first thing in the morning, but I was reminded that we just are not
prepared for cool weather around here. After all, it only happens about 6 weeks
out of the year and people do not have the space or money for “winter clothes.”
Our kids will also continue to wear their shorts and flip-flops
throughout the winter, but a sweater or shawl makes it much more bearable. We
are thankful to Crossroads Worldwide who is buying sweaters for our children
for Christmas this year. This will keep them warm all day.
Sweaters are worn all day long! |
It is time for us to buy some new blankets so we can keep
them warm at night too! Some of the blankets are still around from last year.
We need to purchase 30 more. Can you give $10 so we can buy a wool blanket for
our kids this winter?
Need: Wool Blankets 30 x $10 = $300.
This is a need that we
would love see donated today- after all, we will need these blankets as soon as
possible!
In 2008 our kids only had blankets, nothing else. We are so thankful for the beds and mattresses for them. Let's get some warm blankets too! |
As the weather cools the kids skin gets cracked and itchy. Their
solution- rub down with Vaseline or coconut oil! Interested in seeing our ideas
for stocking stuffers this year? Come back tomorrow for the next need- and
post!
