Reverend Thomas, founder and director of Feed My People in India, notified us that a cyclone and heavy rains have damaged one of the orphanage homes. Thankfully, there were no injuries from the roof damage as the children were not inside at the time.

 

This orphanage in the village of Pothavaram which houses 15 children and Pastor Yohan and his wife was purchased by Global Outreach Inc about twenty years ago.

 

The government has told them they must build a new concrete house at a cost of $15,000 to continue caring for the children.  The old house is no longer safe but Reverend Thomas feels if we can repair the roof at a cost of $650 they will be able to continue using it until a new building can be completed.
