This month's Special Event page is focussed on the skills training in tailoring and the beautician courses for the women belonging to the backward sections in the slum area of Jhalana Doongari, Jaipur.   The women and I are grateful for your support for these courses for these economically disadvantaged women and adolescent girls through the Children of Hope School.

They were given six months of training and were provided with material, thread, needles, clothes, scissors, etc.   In each group of 7-10 women and girls, course completion certificates were given in addition to conducting an orientation course on marketing skills.   With your donations through Children of Hope school we were able to conduct skill trainings for the women & young girls as per the market demands.

Without your generous donations it would be very difficult for us to provide livelihood support for the destitute women & young girls.   Thanks for supporting these projects giving the women and young girls livelihood opportunities.

We have given training to 81 for tailoring training and 21 beautician training to young girls.   Also, we have distributed course completion certificates.   The women and girls were very happy to receive the certificates.   Please see the following pictures.

And now, the food kits have been distributed also by the Children of Hope School teachers, cook and some of the students.   As we said below, these Food Kits were funded by our generous supporters.   They were delivered to the families in dire need.   Just look at all of the families the Children of Hope School has helped!

Here is a special message for Pastor Ravi:

Hello Everyone in the Lord.   As Christians, the Bible is clear throughout its pages that we're called to give generously.   Even in the book of Exodus chapter 35, we see the Israelites all generously giving the materials and time to build the tabernacle. If any of those people decided to withhold the materials they owned or the skills they had, the tabernacle wouldn't have come together.

Thank you very much.   All sponsors and supporters once again have come together for giving urgent support in food for the needy slum families during the second wave of COVID-19 in India.   We give Glory to God for this. Praise the Lord ...!

In the New Testament God himself gave us his only Son because he loves us so much, and that Son died on a cross for us.   It sets a model that generosity in God's people should be sacrificial.

"The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor." Proverbs 22:9

This time, I would like to share some testimonies how God replies to prayers.

Student Ajay said, "I do not have hope this time to getting food because I have received food package three-time last year. But when I knew food is going to be distributed once again, I came and helped to make food kits for many families. Thank you God".

Student Vijay said, "My parents lost their daily wages jobs in the lockdown period.   And there was nothing to prepare at home to eat.   I was praying and trusting to God for giving us food again through the Children of Hope School.   Now God has done that for me and my family.   Thank you Jesus".

Student Arbaaj said, "My Parents say the Muslim community never helps in time of lockdown period.
But my family have strong faith in my school, the Children of Hope School, that we can get help with food once again. I am proud that I am a sponsored student at the Children of Hope School.   Thank you God".

The teachering staff and cook are very much thankful for all of the sponsors and supporters who provided funds during this urgent need for food.   They are committed to the Children of Hope School always.

We have distributed 50 grocery relief kits to slum families.   Some school children came along with their parents to receive the grocery kits.   The children and their parents were very happy to receive the food kits and gave thanks to Children of Hope School.

"A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. Proverb 11:25"

The Bible is rich in wisdom about God's love for people living in poverty and about our responsibility to help.   We love the way Jesus showed us how to care for the poor and oppressed.   Let's all pray for the children, the slum families, and the communities of India in need.   Let's call upon the Lord in one accord.

Prayer --

Savior, we often forget the great price you paid to bring us salvation.   You became poor that we might be made rich.   How thankful we are for your unspeakable gift.   Grow our hearts to reflect your gracious love to others in need. Amen

Thank you so much, all Sponsors and Supporter of the Children of Hope School.   God Bless you richly.

For His Glory, Pastor Ravi   Please look at the many pictures to follow.   They may load slowly on your computer.

Special Event

This month's Special Event page is focussed on the recurring need for Food Kits for the Children of Hope School families once again caught up in a government shutdown.
Pastor Ravi and his wife, Gunjan, are too ill with COVID-19 to be involved, so the Children of Hope School teachers, cook and some of the students helped assemble what you see below.
These Food Kits were funded by our generous supporters.   The Food Kits will soon be delivered to the families in dire need.
