The thrill of meeting sponsored child TNu
Many Canadians sponsor
sponsor
children in the Second and
Third World through a varie-
ty of charitable organizations.
The majority are not wealthy,
and many of them give
sacrificially, just because
they love all children,
everywhere.
Few of the sponsors will
ever see the youngster they.
aid, and will only get to know
him or her through
photographs and progress
reports, sent out each year,
and from stilted little thank -
you notes translated in
English by someone in the
sponsoring agency, or if in
English, copied painstaking-
ly in a childish hand.
However, I'm one of the
lucky ones, for this year, I
visited our family's sponsored
child, Teressa. My husband
and I. first learned, about
Teressa when we attended a
meeting in Toronto about 11
years ago, at which Bernard
Brooks, the principal of the
Dr. Graham Homes of India,
was speaking.
Mr. Brooks, a dedicated In-
dian educator and
humanitarian gave us a brief
history of The Graham
Homes, and told us of the
amazing man who founded
them in 1900. Dr. John Ander-
son Graham went to India as
a missionary with the Church
of Scotland in 1889. Fie and his
wife were deeply concerned
about the numbers of un-
wanted and sadly neglected
children they saw wandering
around, children born of
European fathers and Indian
mothers. Moving out of the
great love in their hearts,
they gathered in six of these
waifs and placed them in a
makeshift cottage with a
housemother and teacher.
Before a year had passed
Graham had built another
cottage and moved in 26 more
children.
As other people in India,
and other parts of the world,
heard of Graham's vision,
they, too, were inspired to
give. Other cottages, and then
the school block, were added
in quick succession. To his
friends throughout West
Bengal, Graham sent out this
message, "Send the needy
children to me"...and they
did.
The children still come;
between six and seven thou-
sand have passed through
The Homes since Dr. Graham
dreamed his dream, and
gathered in those first half-
dozen abandoned urchins. To-
day, the home-school com-
pound consists of more than
40 buildings, dotted over the
500 acre site at Kalimpong.
Around 800 students attend,
many of them being rescued,
as babies, from the terrible
slums of Calcutta.
With his voice charged with
emotion, Brooks told us about
the agonizing responsibility of
going to Calcutta, each year,
to choose a few children from
among the hundreds who are
desperately deprived. He
related some of the histories
of children who would never
know any home except The
Graham Home,...Claudette,
orphaned at two, Gracey,
abandoned a few weeks after
birth, Oscar, who at three
years, found the only person
he could call 'father' was San-
ta Claus, Gloria and Albert
whose parents were confined
to a leprosarium.
After he had spoken, we
told him we would like to help.
"Good," he smiled, "you can
sponsor Teressa, one of the
new little ones who has just
come into the Homes." He
handed us a picture of a
solemn -eyed, three year-old.
TO MARRY Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Wurm of Exeter
ore pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage of
their daughter Jo -Ann Elizabeth to Michael Norris
Gallagher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Gallagher of
Huron Pork. The wedding is to take place August 11,
1984 in Exeter at the Exeter United Church of 7:00 p.m.

Eleven years later,when a

visit Teressa. Shi had been
alerted of our visit and was
waiting. It's hard to say which
of us was the more excited
and nervous, but I picked her
out, immediately, standing
off to the side from the other

eyes, and hugged tightly.
At first, left to ourselves, we
were awkward and shy, and

Aunty." But, as we relaxed in
the 'warm Indian sun, she
began to tell me about her
avid interest in swimming
and about her dreams of
becoming a legal secretary.
As I looked at this lovely,
healthy young girl at my side,
my mind went back .to that
night, 11 years ago, when we
first heard about the poor, lit-
tle, half -sick waif from the
slums of Calcutta. What
would have become of her if
she'd been left there? What is
happening to the hundreds of
others who are still there?
It makes me sad, of course,
that more children can't be
saved, but still, when I toured
The Graham ,Homes and
School and saw the happiness
and vitality on the faces of the
eager youngsters who are

there, I thanked God that
even this many are being
given a chance to reach their
potential of becoming self
reliant and contributing
citizens of their country.
I used to know a lady who
always said the reason she
didn't sponsor a child in the
Third World was because, "it
would only be a drop in the
bucket." Well, 1 wish she, and
others like her, could see the
depraved, horrible conditions,
in which so many innocent
children try to exist, and the
difference it makes in their
lives when someone cares
• enough to help lift them out of
those circumstances. It's so
often a matter of life and
death, and even drops in the
bucket can work a world of
wonders.
