Day 7 Thursday 15th February

We spent the day with Pastor Wilson visiting people who we have helped recently, are helping or who are hoping that we will help them. Too many to recount here.

Leema was poor but could sew.  She is married with two children at school and an alcoholic husband who doesn’t provide for his family. We provided half the cost of a treadle sewing machine and she borrowed the rest from a credit union (which we also fund) at a very low rate of interest. She is now making clothes to order and is on course to pay for the machine in a few months. She can now feed her family and ensure that her children go to school.

About two years ago Rajendran’s kidneys failed and he needs dialysis twice a week to stay alive at a cost of £16 a time. He has no income any more, so is increasing in debt. We were able to pay for two sessions and have promised to pay for more in future.

A few months ago we helped Padmardavy with the cost of injections which have greatly improved her sight in her left eye. Her right eye is now falling in much the same way. The cost of an initial consultation and tests would be over £200, something beyond her means. I was able to give her £100 towards this, enough for her to go ahead. I have also promised to help with the cost of any treatment that she may need thanks to the generosity of our wonderful supporters.
