Great Examples of Indian Women Leaders.

The last few days just seem to have flown by. I visited the Leprosy Colony at Chengelpod. It's a facinating story how the Colony has been able to develop and survive. It is always a moving scene busting these people. We also spent some time at the Raphe Ministry. The group of women work among sex workers and their families. They have now formed themselves into a church. What an amazing stories these women shared with us yesterday. I'm actually hugely impressed with the quality of leadership that seems to be present in all these ministries. It also ntetesting to notethat the key players are all women. shanti-and-isobelIt was actually no different this afternoon when we visited the Sangita Orphanage. What an amazing transformation has taken place in the last year. There are a number of key building erected now enough to move some of the children in next month. There's still a considersbleamount of money required to finish the work. Paul tells that they at short of about 100,000 to complete the whole project. I'll get some pictures up when we get to Temple Bay. We've just been resting here for the past twenty four hours. I think it is a well earned rest. It also has allowed me to reflect on all that has gone on in this trip. We are so grateful to our fixer over here Captain Alfred Thacker. He is a man with outstanding determination and is greatly respected in these parts. In India seniors are often referred to as Uncle. it is a term of endearment and also respect. So we salute uncle once again on this trip just encase he thinks he's been overshadowed by the women. Anyway her are a couple of pictures from the Sangita Orphanage. We have been filming the new build. In due course when it is edited we'll get it up on youtube so that everyone can see the massive improvements that will come about with the new build. Grace was telling us that she took the children to see their new home. their eyes were popping out of their heads at the sight of the new granite floors and the spacious sleeping areas. Here are some of the children. img_1165img_1164img_1162
