Somehow in scrolling back on our emails...we just found your wonderful story Becky and are SO GLAD we did!! We can picture everything so well and are delighted to see Arun's progress. Truly a miracle that he was brought to Rising Star and found his way because of you and the other volunteers and staff. Thank you...you are the best!!

Thanks Janice and Cassie for your kind words! I'm very grateful for this opportunity to share the stories of our work at Rising Star Outreach because it's forcing me to write our stories and our history! And hopefully, others will be inspired to follow in our footsteps, as there is much need in the world. If everyone in the world lifted even one other person, this world would be a completely different place! So thanks for your encouragement!

thank you for this story. It is such a beautiful reminder that all children possess infinite abilities and they just need someone to love them and remind them of their great worth.
