Another perspective on poverty - link to another person's journey in the Slums of India

Hi again,

I ran across this persons journey with the Dalit's and Slums of India.  This is a group from a church in Denver, Colorado who have gone to India before and this is their second trip.  Quite something when you experience it yourself - difficult to share and explain the depth of pain and suffering folks experience.  Take a look:

I can't imagine living in a closet alone nor with my whole family!  I also can't imaging blinding my children to get some extra money.  What have we become?


There are MANY ways you can help the Dalit's.  Would you please consider helping in some way.

Here are a few:

1. Sponsor a Dalit Child ($28/mth) and provide for their education: http://www.dalitchild.com/
2. Provide funding for our Business Development Initiative through iDEAS to bring meaningful, dignified employment to the Dalit's: http://www.ideasworld.org/
3. Email me to chat about other options.  Maybe your church or youth group would like to get involved in some way.  Would you like to visit India too?

 Again, thank you to all of you who have taken steps to get involved and say "enough already"!  I appreciate your help.
