September 2005
Nearly
35,000 Dalit or untouchable children in Tamil Nadu are
receiving free education and food through Gospel
for Asia’s (GFA) program, Bridge of Hope.
With 260 million of the 300 million Dalits in India
being children, GFA founder K.P. Yohannan believes helping
these young ones not only offers them hope, but provides
an opportunity to reach the parents. Since the massive
tsunami that hit the region in December 2004, twenty
centers have been built along the southern coast of
India. Over 20,000 children are receiving education,
guidance and hope in these areas through Bridges of
Hope centers. (ASSIST
