The children at our four Asia's Hope homes in Kalimpong, India, enjoyed many special meals, performances, and other celebrations together this Christmas. All of this simply would not be possible without the loving support provided by our partnering churches and caring individuals -- the distance between the life these children are experiencing as part of an Asia's Hope family and what awaited them on the streets couldn't be more further apart. Because of you, these children have a place to call home and hope for the future.
Merry Christmas from Asia's Hope!
We are so thankful for all of our partners, volunteers, and supporters--because of you, the children of Asia's Hope had a wonderful Christmas holiday with their families. The kids enjoyed presents, parties, special meals and performances, traditional dances, and even some Western Style Christmas Caroling. Thank you for helping to make this a Christmas to remember.
A brief interview with Pastor Nandu Gurung and some scenes of life at Asia's Hope in Kalimpong, India.
Executive Director John McCollum and his family recently visited the kids and staff of Asia's Hope India. They were joined by board member Adam Heath and also a small team from Scarlet City Church in Columbus, Ohio. They report that the kids of Kalimpong 2 are doing well, and are enjoying the ample play area provided by the new home they're renting.
The pictures below are from school and church and also include some of the kids from the other 3 Kalimpong homes.
Executive Director John McCollum's family just returned from Asia, where they spent a few weeks with Pastor Nandu, his family and the kids from Kalimpong 1. He reports that they are all doing well and growing fast! They've moved into a new house that provides them more area for play, and are enjoying their role in welcoming the newer kids from Kalimpong homes 3 and 4.
John also took some time to take new portraits of most of the kids. Enjoy!
Here's a short video of the KP1 (green shirts) and KP2 (orange) children singing!
