MANGALORE, INDIA - Another day has dawned in India and our little portable printer is busy making release certificates declaring the labourers free of their (fictitious) debts! Check out some of the local media coverage below including pictures of the victims looking happy (no one smiles for pictures here, so the straight faces are good :-). The articles use the number 39 because the papers went to print before one missing man was discovered and reunited with his wife and child late last night. That brings us to 42 rescued!
Thank you for your prayers, especially for safety and government initiative! Our God is definitely an awesome God!
This morning a pastor friend in Bangalore tipped me off to this article in the Times of India, India's largest English daily: http://timesofindia.
The article in The Hindu demonstrates the competency of Assistant Commissioner Kavalikatti and the plight of the labourers:http://www.thehindu.
The Mangalorean's article is full of images and paints a story that's more "in process" here:
I love this little girls mischievous smile.
Total rescued this year: 215 (Target is 220, corrected from 210.)
Total Release certificates this year: 135 (Exceeding our target of 110!)
We were hoping for 50 percent of those rescued to receive RCs, but got them for 62 percent instead! PTL!
The little girl has a fractured hand. Yet the rescue has made her smile with all that!
