Lifesong-India

This Christmas was celebrated with a special dinner (pictured) to which the children were able to wear their new Christmas clothes.
Directors Bob and Siromani will be visiting Lifesong India after a two-year absence. They plan to stay the entire month of February

Thank you for your continued support as we serve orphans in India. May 2011 bring continued steps towards renewal and hope for these children. May it be filled with successes, little and great!
