Hey guys, it's Sarah Sisk again! Mr. Brooks asked me to share an experience that I had here. Yesterday I had the privilege to go to a school in the village by Veer`s school. The school was called Rampra, it was a public school. Most of the parents worked in the chicken farm next door. It became quickly evident that the children were extremely poor. We pulled up and there were 33 children in the little court yard. They had huge smiles on there faces as they greeted us. There were four small building that made up the school. The need at the school was evident. The children all wore worn-down clothes and were filthy. We gave them 2 pencils and a big sharpener. They treated the pencils like gold. We looked around the room after passing out the pencils and saw that they had nothing to write on. The need at the school is so great I can't even describe it to you. After going to the school we walked next door to the chicken farm and saw thousands of chickens. The chickens went crazy while we were in there, and according to Mr. Brooks were "for sure gonna lay some eggs".
What I envision is when Faith comes to India again, spend time at the Rampra school and just love on the children. Some of those children we could tell they have a very hard life, and just needed love and a few school supplies so they can be educated and not have to live that life forever. For the next trip, we should get supplies for Veer`s school and also for the school in Rampra. I also see the teachers at Veer's school partnering with Rampra school teachers and training them to bring the best education possible to that village. Seeing the children broke my heart! it was hard to think that children could really live like that. I am so excited to see what we are able to do at the school in the future and see where God takes us with the incredible chance to show His love.
Sarah, thank you for sharing this story. My heart breaks for them. I can not help but think is there not some way they can get some basic school supplies to them right now. I wonder how long it would take to ship supplies? I would gladly ship a box full and I am sure others would to. Give me your thoughts. Would it be possible? What is needed? Jayme Sizelove
