A Widow’s Mite…
Mite – ‘a very small sum of money’
THE PLIGHT OF THE WIDOWS FIRST CAME TO OUR ATTENTION WHEN WE NOTICED THAT MANY OF THE CHILDREN IN THE HAYNES CHILDREN’S HOME ARE FROM WIDOWED PARENTS. WE ARE SO HAPPY THAT WE CAN HELP THE CHILDREN BY PROVIDING ADEQUATE SHELTER, FOOD, CLOTHING AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO SCHOOL BUT WE REALISE THAT IT IS POVERTY THAT SEPARATES THESE FAMILIES. IF WE CAN HELP THE PARENTS THEN WE HOPE TO RE-UNITE THESE FAMILIES.
Widows in India live on a government pension of only $20 a month. This is barely enough to eat. To support their children and possibly send them to school the only jobs they can get are labouring jobs like moving bricks in which they get only $1.50 per day.
So we asked how could we help them. FOr now we provide around 60 local widows with monthly PACKAGES of RICE, FLOUR, DHAL, SUGAR, SOAP AND WASHING POWDER for which they are very grateful.
For $25 per month you can sponsor a monthly Food Gift for a local Widow.
