„Amy Carmichel“ Possibility for poor children _________________________________________________________________________
Following the letter from
Pandur, was in August 2004 was the start of our fostership-project: Letters from Pandur (1)
"What shall I render unto the
Lord for a11 His benefits towards me"' Psalm.116:12 ********************** We have tasted Godīs goodness and loving kindness throughout these
years. We have proyed His faithfulness, His love and His guidance. He has
provided all our needs through our dear friends in Germany and because of
their love and concern for our poor children, We did not ' lack anything. Admission: It starts end of May every year with the arrival of our children who come back from Home after 6 weeks
holidays together with their parents and with some new verry poor children to
get admission in our Home. Though the children enjoy the time together with
their families, it is every year a tough time for many children without
sufficient food. They have to miss many facilities which we have in our
Frolich Home like electricity and water, medicine, games, laughing and
singing etc. Few children have been staying with us because they are either
parentless or the situation at home is so difficult that their parents send
hem verry soon, back to our Home. We are trying our best to get children who
are below the proverty line / down troden, destitudes, widows etc., still
today with the kind donation of our philanthropists in Germany. But like in
previos years, I could not admit many very deserving children. The ….* -
organisation had stopped its support for the past 4 years and, therefore,
through our friends and philanthropists only we may be able to help the poor
and needy. On those days, if 10 children will be leaving, 10 new children
were substituted and, therefore, many new children could be
admitted with the help of ….* - organisation for the past years. So the
number is gradully decreased. The nearby TELC Boys Hostel had been closed due
to the verry löw strength from the 1st of April, 2004. In order
not to close our Frolich Home, I am seeking some philanthropists who are
interestd in our Home. Those
children who have no chance of getting admitted in the hostels like our
Frolich Home, even they are school going children, they are bearing the
burden of earning a living to support their famoly. They have not known the
joys of the childhood. They have been working to earn a living, most of them
are forced to work so that the parents could repay the loan they had raised
from their employers. Their life was / is of great struggle against heavy
odds which has in it no place for for colour creativity, games, dancing,
playing, laughing, drawing and painting and education value. Our Home by
admitting such kind of children in our Frolich Home are challenging to
provide them in a new life who are working in hazardous units beyond
differences of caste, creed and religion. Most of them had to come across
problems in regard to the studies due to family envirnment. Some verry
poor children were compelled to get married and or forced by the the parents
/ relatives though it is ellegal to marry before completing 18 years. Such
weddings happen once in a while, specially if the families are poor and a
related bridegroom is waiting who not demand money. Otherwise a wedding is
allways very expensive for the parents of the bride. Normally
our children wonīt be married off too early since their parents know them to
be safe with us and since you will support them until having finished their
schooling. I believe this will continue!!! The parents
and relatives visit their children every 1st Sunday in the month,
take their picnic with their children in our beautiful campus. Parents
meeting will be conducted 3 times in the year and we have good contact with
them. In the emergency cases, we write to them for counselling and they
always give their co-operation. Besides the
School programmes, the children are taught and encouraged to develop a
variety of other skills are singing, drawing, painting, dancing, staging
drama, embroidery, mending their own cloth, working in the garden etc. Our Home is
being a “LIGHT HOUSE” of godlines and sound knowledge to the region among the
so many villages in and around Pandur. In all church activities such as
Sunday School, Junior Ministry work, Youth Group, All Night Prayer, Harvest
Festival and other Festivals like Vokation Bible School, Childrenīs Day, our
children are the foremost to be in the church than to sit and concentrate on
studies on these special days. For your
kind information, a child may need Rs. 1.000,00 per month and Rs. 1.000,00 in
June every year for the school material, uniform etc. It is very
much hoped that trough our friendsī influences, some sponsors may be found. I
am just praying to God that He may guide me in all my efforts to lift up the
standard of our children by giving them good atmosphere, education, healthy
situation and joy. With many thankfull and kind
regards, Yours sinclery, Raja Manohara Pandur, 04.08.04 * Here the name of that organisation is
