Meet
two of our children, siblings Murayas and his sister Sahira. Their
mother is a widow who struggles very much to support her children on her
meager tea-picker's salary. They live in simple quarters in a line
house, which they are proud to keep remarkably neat and clean.
Early in September, however, tragedy struck when a candle left burning
while they were away ignited the press-board ceiling panels, destroying
the ceiling, rafters, and electrical system. The masonry structure
of their home was undamaged, but with monsoon season fast-approaching,
and without any means to repair their home, this humble mother was
desperate to provide adequate shelter for her two children. Thanks
to the prompt generosity and care of Murayas's OSI sponsors, Laurie
and Duane Saari from the USA, we were able quickly to provide all
necessary materials for the complete repair of their home, -from new
rafters to fire-proof ceiling materials, to a complete new electrical
system. Murayas and a couple caring cousins did most of the labour
themselves (and did an excellent job!), and so it was a pleasure to be
able to cooperate with the family to restore their prior living
conditions as quickly as possible.
