Welcome to Asha Mission!
Today we spent about 8 hours visiting Asha Mission – one of the Children’s Homes we are partnered with in India. I can’t express how incredible these children are – and how good it is to see them so happy and well cared for. They sang and danced and laughed and played – and we loved being a part of it all!
We got quite the welcome when we arrived (as you will see in the video). What we weren’t able to shoot was all 32 children hugging us and introducing themselves to us. It was the sweetest thing!

But these children are more than just sweet – they are SMART! We heard about how hard they work in school, and that they have received outstanding marks and honors in their classes. The house mom and dad, Sharma and Sasi, are incredibly proud of them, and they told us about some of the children’s dreams. These little boys and girls want to be doctors and nurses and teachers and policemen when they grow up…. but it’s up to you and me to be sure that happens.
Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing more about the kids at Asha Mission, and what some of their needs are. I can tell you right now that need #1 is a bigger house, considering there are 32 children and only 2 small bedrooms – with nowhere near enough room to sleep or play or study. So keep checking back to hear the details of their current living conditions, and to find out how you can help. Together we can provide for these children and empower them to reach their dreams!
