A new academic year has started in India!
To mark the occasion, a festive ceremony was held on the campus of the Children’s Ark for all the children receiving support, during which they were presented with books, school supplies, backpacks, geometry sets, water bottles, lunchboxes, play sets, and other wonderful gifts for the new school year.
More than 150 boys and girls arrived cheerfully at the Children’s Ark campus from various villages. However, some of the children were unable to come due to rain and transportation problems.
During a brief gathering, everyone sang and prayed together. Paul, the director of Children’s Ark, gave a talk and encouraged the boys and girls to study hard and think about their future. The children gratefully received their school supplies. After the presentation, there was still time for everyone to play together.
Everyone in attendance was treated to a festive meal of chicken, followed by a light snack and cool drinks. In the evening, arrangements were made to ensure the safe return of the children to their villages. For the children who were unable to attend, the gifts were sent to their respective villages.
The children and the staff would like to express their heartfelt thanks for this special support!
Praise be to God!
