WHERE IS LOVE?.... You’ll find it here!
Namaste!
Warm festive greetings of the season to you and I hope you find this year end update interesting.
Another year has gone by and the situation economically is poor, and a war in Europe, and the aftermath of Covid are being felt by so many.
India has not escaped the world situation at all of course and prices of everyday essentials have increased so much but not wages. Our Covid programme continues to help vulnerable families find work and support.
I thought you would like to hear a summary of the year.
At the Junction although our work has been affected by the new construction for our brand-new children’s centre, we have rescued over 750 children to date this year. The youngest was a new-born baby and others included boys and girls running away from abuse, child labourers rescued (with arrests following for the traffickers), lost children and girls being taken for the sex trade. Every single child has been placed in a safe situation with care and protection in mind through our outreach programme and our 24-hour staff and centre where the doors never close to children in urgent need and distress. That we have been able to provide this vitally important service is due your compassion and generosity and our children thank you so much for your kindness. On the GlobalGiving website we have our special winter appeals and our campaign against child beggars.

I will leave you with a story from Rescue Junction. We are a secular organisation and celebrate all festivals. We have just been able to show the film “Oliver” in Hindi which the children really enjoyed. During the song. “Where is love” one girl was heard to say to her fiiend sitting next to her..... "where is love? ....you’ll find it here"…
Thank you
Season’s greetings
Priya
