Overcoming Illiteracy: Lifesong India

Please enjoy this update from Lifesong India:

• The new school year has started in India and Lifesong for Orphans is once again making it possible for 585 poor children to obtain a quality education all the way through college.

• Illiteracy is rampant among India's poor.  Even though India is making rapid economic progress as a nation the illiterate poor are unable to benefit.  Thanks to Lifesong and our faithful supporters many children who have illiterate parents are escaping the curse of illiteracy and are able to take their place in India as productive citizens. 

• At Jyothi Nivas (shown below), one of our 6 homes, we give total care to 270 children who attend grade school through college.  Our college graduates have become engineers, nurses, pastors, teachers, computer specialists, etc.  The average college tuition of $400 yearly is something we are committed to paying and for which we depend on the generous gifts of our supporters.

Thank you for your continued prayer and support as we strive to bring joy and purpose to children in India!
