Just kidding, but we want to celebrate the birthdays of these boys. Problem is, no one in their family has a clue when they were born. In their tribal culture, they don't pay much attention to dates, times, education, etc. They're pretty much oblivious. The mother to the right is the mother of all these children except for the oldest boy, Sankar. He has a different mother, the father having 2 wives. The girl, Poojitha, has come to church, Sunday School and other meetings for 4 or 5 years now at least, and we celebrate her birthday in November. A couple of years ago we decided to celebrate for these 4 brothers also, choosing April 17th for them. It doesn't mean anything in reality, but we hope they can recognize the love of Christ in these acts of kindness and honor. Please pray for this family, at least 11 or 12 kids altogether, some of the older ones already married.
