Every day since I've been home, I've woken up aching to be back in India. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't wonder what the beautiful little faces that I fell in love with are doing. I see updates on the SCH page or facebooks of the long term volunteers still there and my heart flips in my chest. Each day I pray for SCH, and for the children there by name.
Being away from them, being so very far away from them is harder than I thought it would be. I desperately want to be back in India, with those kids, and I'm working on figuring out how soon I can be. In the mean time though, there is so much help that can be given from right where we are.
The children at SCH need sponsorship. You can sponsor a child completely or partially. They need sponsorship for food, water, diapers, medicines, surgeries and schooling. Things that every child needs. Sponsorship also helps the children have new clothes, new toys and field trips. Fun things in their lives. Things that every child deserves.
SCH isn't funded in an ongoing way by any large grand foundation, church, or company. Their funding comes almost entirely from caring individuals. You can read more about donating to SCH here.
If you go to the SCH link Meet our Children you can read about each child and see their smiling faces. Please go read about some of the amazing kids there. They each have a story, and each is beautiful.
Over the next week or two I want to tell you all about the little lives that impacted me the most while I was in India. Children that are still in need of either partial or full sponsorship. Read their stories, see their beautiful little faces, pray for them, and if you feel led, help sponsor these wonderful kids.

Palmer
Palmer snuck into my heart. I didn't really expect to fall in love with him, but when I realized I was, it was too late. I was head over heels. At first he's kind of shy. He'll step back and let the more rambunctious boys fight for attention, but once the commotion calms down a little you realize he's already at your side, tugging on the bottom of your shirt.
Palmer's favorite place to be was on my back. On my last day at the home he kept his little arms around my neck, his feet wrapped around my waist, while I walked around and said all of my goodbyes. Man, I miss that sweet sweet smile, and his tight bear hugs.
Palmer is sweet and gentle. He loves to color and play games. He will giggle and smile and hold your hand. I find myself missing this little charmer every single day.

Pray for this little guy, and don't forget, he still needs sponsorship!
