I was first introduced to the World Family Foundation (WFF) three years ago by a very good friend. On the WFF website, he showed me what I found to be a particularly poignant two minute video, and immediately decided to become a sponsor.
This past January, along with board members Bruce and Leslie Bouche and sponsors Jerry and Pat Graybill, I had the privilege to visit the Prashanti School children’s residential home in a village area outside Puri, India. Although it was my first trip to India, it instantly felt like I was returning home from a long journey. The children, who were all gathered by the main gate, welcomed us with such respect the moment we entered the premises. As we all sat in the school patio, Elizabeth Burnett, founder of Prashanti International School (PIS) and WFF board member, introduced us to all of the children one by one, each with a shy, yet beautiful smile. I was especially excited to finally meet the little girl who I have been sponsoring for the last three years. During our visit we had the opportunity to take pictures and get to know each other. All the children seemed to be so happy and full of life, despite the so very few materialistic pleasures. Our first visit day's visit ended with devotional chanting and evening prayers.
