This young man is called Leader Nongsiej. 2 weeks ago Bobbie, our worker in Shillong, saw him as he was driving by and stopped to ask if he would like the operation. He said, yes.
This is how he was then.
This is how he is after the operation
Back in November 2006 FAD bought Mrs Stalin Sangma 2 goats; here is the email we got a couple of days ago.
“Greetings In Jesus Mighty Name.
Mrs Stalin Sangma (single mother) from Mawiong got two goat sometimes ago from our charity sponsor by FAD and it multiplied into 14. She has sold ten goats and is keeping the remaining with her – 4goats.
She got 6,000 rupees from the sale and she has opened an account in the Bank to deposit the money.
She decided that she will take out the money only for the education of her children.
Wow! its amazing.Praise God
This week I will go and take a photo.”

After much fund-raising we sent the out the money and here are the new books for the 2009 school year for our 6 schools in Orissa;
Nandini Singh age about 4 years is suffering with Brain Axial (Full body is Stiff) need Neurosurgiacal operation, multiple abscesses (pyogenic) obstructive Hyprocepha ls. Brain is full of Puss. They have treated their child at Cuttack hospital but as the Doctor advise for a major operation now because of the finance they left the hospital.
Shadrak says; Their parents requested for their child for help. Though we have prayed for her, we request also for all your prayer. I need your kind concern for if we can help her in this crucial financial situation.
Geoff says; In all honesty we try not to get involved with medical cases simply because they cost so much but I have asked that the child be offered the operation trusting the costs will be about £150 -200. If anyone knows of any charity or agency that we can apply to for funds for cases such as this I will be most glad to hear from you.
Donations for this case can of course be sent direct to me – see contacts page – Many thanks
This new bike just makes the teachers travelling a little easier and saves valuable time.

Due to the poverty I was staying in our house and helping to my mother when some of my friends who are rich goes to the other schools. My parent never expect for my schooling because we are struggling for daily bread and medical expenses for my father.
One evening our Kalidaspur school madam visited to our house and asked to my mother about my schooling. My mother replied as we are the poor people and it is difficult to provide all the school expenses. I was anxious if I will get a chance to go to the school like all my friends.
Our madam asked to my mother to sent me the school tomorrow onwards and she assured to help for my study. It was surprising to me and us.
