Recent Trip to India-

Medical Camp 2011

We have recently spent a week in India checking on programs, visiting the children and planning for new and fun programs for 2011.  It was a blessing to stay directly with the children and we got to see their daily routine, take them on an outing and generally be with them and love on them!

World Hope also held a medical camp in our “adopted” village of Pallavali where over 260 people from the slums were able to be seen by volunteer doctors from a prestiguous hospital in Ambur and treated for minor ailments.  Follow up will be performed by the hospital itself so that is wonderful. 

We visited our Pallavali Food Bank as well and got to see how much one meal a day means in the lives of poor people – mostly elderly – who do not earn enough each month to even satisfy a basic daily diet.  The people we work with in that village who cook and serve those meals are definitely special people.  As are the recipients – lots of wonderfu smiles!

A gypsy camp is our next area of service (we believe unless God shows us differently).  This is a rough place near Ambur where “gypsies” have been squatting for many years.  Their huts consist of different types of materials – mostly tarps – and they spend their days out plying their wares which include plastic handcrafts, flowers, etc.  Their children are not able to attend school because they have no water and their clothes are filthy and stinky.

They are asking for a well for clean and safe water – four people have been killed crossing the busy road to get to the nearest well.  We are asking them to provide all the government approved paperwork and are trying to raise funds for this project.  It’s a start – we would also like to provide them with some job training so that they can earn a living – we once again are focusing on “teach a man to fish” because they have to be self-sufficient and not rely on others for their long-term care.

If you are interested in joining us next November for a 10-day trip, please contact us for more information.

God Bless!
