Yesterday was so out of the box....

How do you even begin…. We went to Bombay Team Challenge (BTC). Met with Devaraj (Director), Ena (Sewing instructor), and the IPP girls. What he has created for these children is overwhelmingly beautiful. The girls have their girlish charms about them. Their smiles and giggles could light any room. Everything this man touches is so filled with love and happiness. Such a contrast to everything else I have seen. The streets are dirty beyond belief and in ruins for miles upon miles. BTC is clean with beautiful gardens. The girls are clean – their rooms were clean. Much cleaner than any American child’s room. I don’t know how I can possibly capture what I have seen or felt with words. It is so overwhelming and amazing what Devaraj has created. He is a man inspired and led by the Holy Spirit.


Then there is Ena. A woman who left her successful career in clothing design to teach these girls to sew. Her love and enthusiasm is incredible. The girls adore her. Their joy is a reflection of who she is for them. It is hard to believe where these girls came from. They are so grateful for the opportunities they have been given and are seizing them with such enthusiasm.

Have to go for now…will write more later.

Blessings,

Catherine
