Help for India
Hi everyone,
Sorry for the delay in posting. I am watching the traffic on our blog site. To date we have had over 2000 visits!
As you probably know, two weeks ago a massive cyclone hit the eastern coast of India.
Here is a link to an article entitled, "India's Cyclone Phailin leaves trail of destruction".

Ali is one of our security guards at school. This guy smiles and waves to us every morning. He is such a nice person! Ali is from India and he is the only income earner for his entire family. He had made arrangements to be married over the Christmas holidays, but his plans were dashed have due to the financial burden left by Cyclone Phalin. The cyclone destroyed his home and his family is currently living in a shelter with many others who have been displaced. Of course, the situation is compounded by the sub-standard living situations that existed in many parts of India prior to the arrival of the devastation cyclone.
So, my wonderful wife took it upon herself to hold a bake sale at school today in support of Ali and his family. Muffins, cookies, brownies, and a whole bunch of other goodies were sold for 5 Riyals a piece and an incredible 6300 Riyals was generated ($1735.00 CAN). This will certainly have a big impact on their recovery and we can't wait to give Ali the good news!
Ali, keep on smiling :)
