                                                                Dear Sponsors and friends.

Warm love and greetings from Little Lights !

I am glad to tell you all children are doing well and keeping themselves happy and healthy. They are going to school and pursuing their studies.

Students who have finished their education are finding jobs and living on their own. They are very grateful to their sponsors for blessing them with good education and changing their life. I will post some of their stories in my next blog.

We are running 1)Degree college, 2)Jr.College 3) Women's Junior college 4) Vocational college 5) Boys high school 6) Girls high school 7) Vocational school and 8)Elementary school.

After high school children are free to choose any co urse they want to      study. Vocational college is for two years, junior college is for two years and degree college (under graduates) is for three years

At Vocational college students study Nursing, Medical lab Technology, Auto Mobile engineering, Electronics, Hotel management and fashion designing.


 

After finishing 10 class children can go to Vocational school where they learn different trades such as, Electrician, Plumbing, Mechanism, Dairy farming, Agriculture, Masonery, Painting, tailoring and computers.  Degree college is for three years. The undergraduate courses are B.A ( Arts or social work) B.SC. (Science and maths) B.Com ( Commerce or business).

Our vision for the children living at Little Lights is to educate them and teach them to be self supporting.We help them be good citizens and good samaritans.

We thank all our sponsors for their partnership to build the lives of the poor and hungry children and make their dreams come true. 

Children are very grateful to their sponsor parents as are praying for them and their families, everyday.

Elementary school is from class 1 to 5. Their school is from 10 to 12:30 in the morning and 1 to 3 in the evening. They learn reading, writing, maths, social science and TELUGU language.. 




Boys and girls sit separately in classrooms. But they live together and play together.


Children help themselves and help one another. They do their washing on week ends. They soap their wash and beat them on the rocks and wash off the dirt. They rinse their wash in water and dry them on the ground.

Girls do a better job than boys. They keep their clothes more clean and colorful !


This is REKJAVIK-1. We call it KIDS' Home because smaller kids live here. It has four large dormitories. Boys are living in the dormitories and girls are living in a seperate block. We hope girls will soon have Rekjavik -2 and the Lord will bless them.


Evening schools continue to be a great blessing to poor and hungry children of DALITS(former untouchables) Many are Christians and they hardly survive on less than a Dollar a day. They cannot get it when they cannot find work to do. Children are made child laborers for small wages they earn.

At Evening schools children are happy and enjoying their school life
Christmas was colorful at Little Lights. Children gave a presentaion of music and drama , which was entertaining. Girls a gave a performance of dance and boys gave a presentation of the birth of Jesus.

We would appreciate if sponsors stop sending gifts in the mail. They are either lost or damaged and many times they never reach us. Children are receiving letters from their sponsors and they will send their replies very soon.

Our prayers are with you and please know your children are praying for you everyday. They love you and are sending you their love and hugs.

Please visit www.abc.is and contact ABC Barnahjalp to sponsor a child.
