The Great Welcome

So when we finally arrive at the Cuddapah Seventh-Day Adventist school we are greeted by 100 little kids placing leis on us and throwing flower petals at us while saying "welcome to India". It was a great greeting. The School will officially open in June, the 100 kids there now are orphans, have only one parent, or are extremely poor and thus are at the school already. The plan was to enroll 1000 students but when they opened up for applications 2000 kids enrolled, but they could only accept 1600 and that will stretch their facilities. Keep in mind that most of these 1600 students will be in the dorm. It costs $25 dollars a month to attend this school, now take in mind that the average income for a normal family is less than a dollar a day making this education almost impossible for these children. So how do they do it? Through sponsorship, you can sponsor a child in India for $25 a month and that includes dorm fees, food and a private education all in English. If you are interested (and trust me I met the kids that will benefit and it is worth the money) just visit Adventist Child India to find out more.
