This morning I visited the home of Indira and Mamdira. Very poor family that has been waiting over a year for a sponsor. Father, Naran, works in an iron shop making 5000 rupees per month ($60) and mother does labour work making about 2000 rupees a month ($23) and their rent is 2,500 per month (30) so this only leaves $53 for food and other necessities. Plus there is no free medical here or education and no food banks. It is a tough life. When I go to a home with only one sponsor left I always pick the youngest girl. It is a little hard on the heart as one watches while the other holds the sign and is photographed. I always take the whole families photo but they know what is going on. So Mamdira does not have a sponsor. Indira has a private school sponsor but even if we could get a government school sponsor for her it would as sometimes we can get a deal at the school where we register many children. That costs $125.00 per year or half private school would be $175.00. This would help us get both girls in the same school.
