Our new 30 acre project is 130 km  away from our current base. Located in the state of Tamil Nadu it is very different from our way of life in the city. The native peoples who live there have very primitive lifestyles.

 Many have no clothes, very little food, and limited formal education.  The people have a rural culture working in the fields and tending cattle. Outside of agricultural there is little for these people to do for income.  However. there are many employed in the cottage industry of rolling little cigars and are paid next to nothing for that service.  The tobacco merchants take advantage of them and they see little else they can do.  Even the little children are worked in this industry and miss out on a formal education.  Our new property is located very close to these villages  and we have plans to minister to their needs providing education, training and assistance any way we can. There are also very low caste old people and untouchables there without anyone to care for their needs. So many of these are considered to be burdens to their families and are deprived from food or clothes. Consequently we see a need for providing both relief for their urgent needs but also a long term project to train and educate the young so the cycle of poverty can be stopped. We are planning programs like training the young ladies and widows in sewing and weaving to give the women a way to increase their family income without having to depend on the cigar industry.  Also we plan to teach agricultural so the families can raise their own food.  Also our plans are to include a children's home for  both orphans and under privilege children as well as build an assisted living home to  help the elderly. We appreciate your support to help fulfill this vision. This project  will be a great blessing to thousands of the poor and needy.
