Selwyn in India reports back

Selwyn at PremaVasam, one of our orphanages in Southern India brings us up to speed with life in his orphanage. He writes:
Dear David,

Lots of love and greetings from Prema Vasam!

These days our school going children have done their first mid term test, hopefully they have done their best. It is so disturbing that this year we did not get a good teacher to teach and help them to do their home works at home, please we need your good wishes and prayers for the same.

One of our children Soni who is doing B.Sc. Nursing is doing her second year annual examinations. She spends a good time in looking after the sick children and our special children too. But she does not spend more time in studying her lessons. We are trying our best to motivate her to concentrate towards her studies.

Our Boys home, boys are living in our new building. It looks like a palace for them, after a year of struggle in a small congested place, now they are comfortable and happy.

One of our dreams is to start a school for the normal children. Of course it is not that easy but as an initiative act this year we have started the kinder garden at Prema Vasam itself. It is so nice to see them with uniforms happily going to our kinder garden school. Miss Sumathy and Miss Pramila are doing their best for them.

During these days we have celebrated some of our children, Soni, Uma, Soundarya, Hemavathy birthdays. And our therapists, one of our occupational therapist Mr.Pradeep and one of our physiotherapists Miss Aishwarya have celebrated their birthdays too.

With much love,
Selvyn.
