| Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. - James 1:27 |

| We have an orphanage in which we are looking after 30 children. When we found them they were unsheltered and away from comfort and parental love. We collect donations from our fellow Christians to meet their needs. We need some generous sponsors to take up the care of at least one or them. In fact, their condition is very pathetic. Please remember them in your regular prayers. Allow me to tell you about the orphanage system, and explain to you about the existing conditions of orphaned children in India. Here, these orphans are increasing day by day at a rapid rate. Because of their family disorganized conditions, in the lapse of their beloved parents, and due to the disastrous conditions of natural calamities, these orphans are a generation on geometrical progression. Here in India, this group of innocent young victims are called as "parking boys", "young rascals", and as "pousin". Generally parking boys shall pass their time at public places like bus stops, railway stations and at some enterprise centers like petrol bunks. They struggle the entire day for their owners, where they are accustomed with having insufficient food. The young rascals shall wonder on streets where they are starving four days in a week. The pousin work in the fields of the landlords. But they are existing with quite discontent towards their dire needs. With such a needy background these helpless children are becoming habitual criminals. As a matter of fact, nowadays in India these victims are becoming powerful criminals and anti-social elements. Lack of proper family treatment, and at the bad conditions of their dire needs, they are mounding like this. Of course it is one of the contemporary problem of our society. On seeing their practical conditions, every human being shall feel sympathy towards them. Sometimes these orphan children are competing with dogs at dustbins, during feasts of the wealthy people. Here in our land, every person will glance at his or her bitter and panic conditions, but nobody shall come forward to host them. It is the most disgraceful feature on the satisfactory way, but no pity is coming from this sophisticated society towards these helpless victims. Really I pitied much on their existential conditions, and I proposed and planned to start an orphanage for the uplifting of these helpless children. Being a Christian, I used to make my personal decisions according to the Bible. It states that "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and Father is this to visit orphans and windows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the world" James 1:27. These words inspired me and I decided to take the responsibility of the helpless children. My funds are already exhausted. In fact, sometimes I am unable to provide full pledged food at least. For want of regular monthly support, I am not able to feed the children properly. Even one meal a day is hardly available for the poor kids. The hunger makes them greedy and so they rush forward to eat whatever filthy thing they find on their way. Consequently they are sick, which leads to a need for a doctor to whom I am not able to pay his bills properly, so the kids always seem to be sick and gloomy. It is really a disgrace on our part as God's servants. At the same time there are terrible criticisms from people for the condition of the orphan children. Because when these orphans find any people eating food, they look at them greedily, and the people frown at them. It is really a very pathetic condition. Sometimes people beat them and drive them away. I also become very much resented but I am helpless. I simply shed tears and pray to God to open a way for them. I have my own freedom to send them away. But what happens if I do so? Some may die of starvation and some become professional beggars, some may steal, or even worse things. I will be accountable to God. Over all, I love them very much and they love me too. I cannot forsake them. I love to sit and eat with them. I eat if they eat and I sleep if they sleep and often I shed tears when they weep. Some nights, these kids suddenly wake up and cry for food. I am sustaining them with penniless conditions. If I go to my Church people asking an offering or any assistance, they also exist under financial frustration. So I am in dilemma in operating our orphanages. I am praying to go in order to acquire any Heavenly support from any side. Since all these days, I am searching for a Heavenly person like you in order to look into the needs of our orphan children. Little support extended by you shall save the lives of our orphan children, and it shall be a Heavenly blessing for you if you can help us. Please have a kind consideration for my plea and extend your esteemed monthly financial help so that I can feed them and lead them in the way they should work. These suffering children may one day grow up to be God's servants, but it is only if we can help them. Thanking you, Billa Rajendra |
