RANCHI BETHESDA BOYS HOME, JHARKHAND
The Planning Commission of India estimates that the proportion of people living below the poverty line in 1999–2000 in Jharkhand was 40.30%, which is well above the all India average of 26.10%.
The names of the care parents of the homein Ranchi are Pastor Michael and Rachel. The home provides shelter for 12 boys of ages 7 - 14 years old, who have been rescued from destitute situations. As well as receiving food, clothing, schooling and loving care the boys are engaged in a Foundations for Life training program. Over a period of three years this provides the boys with skills usually gained in a home environment including hygiene and toileting, eating and manners, responding to care, communication and social skills, self esteem, regular sleeping patterns and overcoming violent and aggressive behaviour. The boys like to play cricket and other outdoor sports.
One of the children living at this home is little Rahul Ganju, age 7. His parents died when he was very young. He has an older brother and both of them together used to wander the streets, begging. He used to starve for days and nobody cared about little Rahul. Seeing the pathetic condition of the boy, the people of the village brought him to the Home. Today he is very happy and thanks God for giving him a family.
