May is normally the hottest month of the year in southern India, and summer holidays for most of the children is from the latter part of April until the 2nd week of June (about 7 weeks total). So this short time is a good opportunity to have some extra meetings and excursions with the children we are working with. There was a 3-day youth camp (all ages, but more focusing on those from about 12 and older) in one of the local churches from April 29th thru May 1st with a guest speaker from another state. Maybe half or less of these children are ones we sponsor for their education and see regularly; the others we see periodically or they are local children near to the church. Some of the children stayed at the church continually during the 3 days, the boys in one church and the girls in another. We praise GOD that the meetings went well, and surely hearts were touched by His grace!
