Farewell my freind


Farewell my freind

This is Madan Kumar, a child I was sponsoring in India through Micah's Call International. Recently he caught the Chikun Gunya virus which is endemic in South Asia. He died of the virus this December very sadly. I had met him on my visits to the home. He was a natural leader and had a freindly, good nature to him. He was once only a sponsored child thousands of miles away, but sometimes the value of something only presents itself once it is gone. The news is sad, if not tragic.

I realise even more now ,why we do this - why we sponsor, why we give to those in need - because they are people too, and are valued just as much as you or I!
