Sharon, Catherine and Theresa are in Chennai meeting the children we sponsor and catching up with Kevin and the SKM team. They sent these texts:
Hi just finished a very long day at the slum. This project really is about safety..poss should be highlighted more under this. Kevin has 41 new children he wants us to take on. One mother came last week to ask for help..unknown to her at the time her husband was hanging himself in his rickshaw. Asked onr girl what she did when her father came in drunk and beat her mum.. I just sit quiet..there is nowhere to hide when u all live in one room.
Just finished morning registration.. Now going to bank to change money then bk to interview. All ok, good job here will enroll 41 child but said we cannot give money until sponsors come. Children in scheme really benefitting from programme and food
