![Rajani [on the Left] means night and Dayita means beloved.<br />
<br />
Ranjani is full of life and both Ranjani and Dayita insisted they had their photographs taken. They are not sisters but are almost insuperable. Both are Orphaned and the Grandmother of Ranjani looks after both these children. Like almost all in Kallaporum gypsy camp, they have not gone to school, as the Grandmother cannot afford school fees, uniforms and text books. Dayita on the Right of this photo is deaf in the left ear, and has balance problems.<br />
<br />
Kallaporum camp has no clean water, No toilets and no electricity.<br />
They live in home made shelters made from mud, sticks and plastic sheeting. They have no land of their own and the landowners will not allowed them to grow food on their land, even though most of the land surrounding this camp is vacant. These Gypsy children face terrible harassment and discrimination, just because they are at the bottom of the Hindu Caste system. treated as Outcasts and known as Untouchables. But God Loves them and he cares. To him they are very precious.<br />
<br />
Please Help me and the Philadelphia Mission Charity, to raise the money to drill a deed communal bore well. Also Children’s clothing, Schools fees, and other needed help. Many children die here because of lack of food and contaminated water. Anyone want to sponsor Rajani & Dayita? Let me know.<br />

![Taken in a Gypsy settlement close to Kallakurachi. India.<br />
<br />
Some of you will know me through my Writings and photographs of Extreme poor in Remote and Rural villages in Africa, and correspondence here on RB. God called me in 1994 to go and share his Message with the poor, disadvantaged and outcast, I have with great passion and little Financial support being doing what he has commissioned me to do.<br />
<br />
[My Passion in life is to reach as many poor and disadvantaged in Remote and rural villages with the Gospel of Jesus, and provide practical help and care].<br />
<br />
I have with the help, Prayers and support of precious people worldwide been able to not only share Gods message of salvation, but provide Tools, Clothing, Bibles, Some School fees, Seeds, Medicines and other needful things to empower them to live better lives. Recently here on RB in the past two years, God has blessed me with many new precious friends. I thank God for you all.<br />
<br />
In Uganda during 2001-2003, God used me to expose Children being sold by extremely desperate and poor families, to those who had money and who they thought would give their child a better life. I detest this, yet in most cases, not all, the parents or carers could no longer provide for the child. With their government unable, or unwilling to help, they look to those outside their community and tribe for an answer.<br />
<br />
In India where I and the Philadelphia Charity are now working with NARI-KOR-AVARS gypsy tribe, I came across several cases of children for sale. I personally have been offered children. One for sale and one to take home to Britain and care for her.<br />
<br />
The reason why I am sharing this with you is that the above Photograph is of one such child. Some of you will experience feelings of Unbelief that this happens, and others strong emotions of anger and disgust.<br />
<br />
I am asking you to have a thought for the Mother of this child and pray for her. In extreme poverty, Outcast from Society and treated lower than a dog, almost everywhere she goes. She has tried her very best to provide food and shelter. She is sick in body and wept genuine tears of sorrow, as she asked me buy her child for for 5000 Rupees = $100.<br />
<br />
Please help us to help these precious parents and carers with tools, seeds, Clothing, income, practical help, so tey never be in the position of giving away or selling their child as a last resort to saving that child and giving it a better future.<br />
<br />
This is happening not just in India or Africa, but in other countries also. Some sell their children purely for selfish gains. But I have not yet met any. those I met are heartbroken and doing something that must be unthinkable to any of us .<br />
