Welcome to my blog. This is a place where I can share my experiences that I have had with the Homes of Hope. Write about my continued support for the orphaned girls. The girls are under the care of the Salesian Sisters. The sisters have dedicated themselves to these girls. Enjoy the pictures and feel free to post, follow and write about your experiences in India.

"A Fistful of Rice"
Dear Friends and Readers,
Do you like to read? Do you have a passion to end poverty? As many of you know I am a volunteer for the Homes of Hope located in the southern province of India. I read, I share, I volunteer, I facilitate conversation and much more to do my share in ending poverty and more specifically work for the orphaned girls in India.
My most recent read on ending poverty is "A Fistful of Rice - My Unexpected Quest to End Poverty Through Profitability" written by Vikram Akula. This book is a great read for those of you who have always wondered, worked and discussed the ending of poverty through empowerment of those you serve.
Books on Main in Cottage Grove, Oregon has agreed to donate $3.00 to the Homes of Hope in India for the purchase of "A Fistful of Rice" through Books on Main. All you have to do is telephone Books on Main at 541-942-7423, order the book, read it, discern and follow your passion through empowering the poor of the world - "everybody wins" - once you have read the book you will know what that means! My favorite quote in the book is - "You cannot help the poor...India was rife with well-intended but badly conceived projects that misguided elites had inflicted on the poor." You must, must read this book!
