COVID-19 NEWS

Although India has opened up many sectors of the country, the school and the children’s homes have not been allowed to open due to the dangers of having so many children together in close quarters. The virus continues to spread throughout India and there are now positive cases in Bapatla and the surrounding towns.

Babu continues to support an incredible number of people locally during these difficult times. The house parents and teachers are in contact with all the children and the homes are now providing supplemental food to 43 of the children and their families. During the months of May and June, food assistance was provided for nearly 200 families of the Yanadi tribe in villages surrounding Bapatla. In Bapatla, support was also provided for 40 truck-loading workers’ families and 32 printing and binding laborers’ families as well as 10 days of free lunch distribution in partnership with the Rotary Club of Bapatla.

Thank you all for your continuing prayers and support! Please continue to pray for the health and well-being of India, for Babu and Hepsy, and for the children.
