The tall girl is Mahima (whose name means "glory"), who turned 18 on the 1st of this month. She's with neighbor children, the smallest girl being Brother Raju's daughter. She's now about to finish her 2nd year in an engineering college. Both parents are alive, but only the father is working, sweeping the streets. This family seems to be very faithful to the Lord, Mahima having an older sister also, still in the home and in college. We believe that the investment into the children's lives, not only teaching them about JESUS (certainly the most important thing), but also providing a better education, will have long-term effects of helping their families to come out of poverty. Lord willing, this will also enable the children to not be in so much need as adults. Praying to that end. Please pray for Mahima.
