[Oe List ...] The seeds we have scattered........

[Nancy Lanphear]

Great story, Jean!  Isn't life amazing when what we see miracles  happen
from the seeds we sow?  A dream of ours along with the incredible energy and
dreams of Laxmi Bhattacharia and others in India, to see the "famous"
Training Center in Chikhale become a boarding school for tribal children.
It was indeed a dream come true to visit in 1994 and see the smiling faces
of 250 children, able to reeive a good education.  I have heard that the
number of children has doubled - this was rather old information, but I hope
it is true.

Thanks for your story, Jean.  You are loved,

Nancy
