Once upon a time in a far away land-INDIA lived a little 4 year old girl named Rekha. She had a Mom and a Dad; the Dad was a policeman. One day as usual her father came home drunk; but this time he beat her mother so brutally that she died in front of Rekha and Rekha was the only witness. Since they were poor and their relatives were also very poor, that State asked S.S. Mandal School if they would take her in. The school raised her and every month they had to send her to court to testify against her father.

Finally, the 4 year olds testimony put him away for life. Rekha is now in the 7th grade- no longer shy, withdrawn and sad. She is social, loving and very bright.

This is no fairy tale! It is true and it has a happy ending. We sponsor Rekha's education so that she can have the opportunity to go to high school and college and get the best education.

Now you too can help us give more children like Rekha a happy life (see photo above). You too can change a child's life forever.

Please join us by sponsoring TWO children at the S.S. Mandal School. For $150.00 per year, TWO children will get food, board (if necessary), clothes, books, medicine, etc. Their lives will change and so will yours!
