Co-Founders Robin & Grahame Byrnes were

lucky to return last October after a gas-tank

ruptured outside their RN (Jhansi) Children's

Home, causing evacuations for hours (Fig.

1). Bruce Wellman, from Canada (Fig. 2),

conducted First Aid courses for RN (Kenya)

Staff. A First Aid Kit was also donated from

Canada. Robin and Salvation Army repre-

sentative Terri Muendel attended an inspira-

tional National Press Club address on

“Vulnerable Children and Adoption” by

Australian actress Deborra-Lee Furness

(Fig. 3). World AIDS Day, a global health day

commemorated annually on December 1st,

helps people join the fight against HIV/AIDS,

shows support for its afflicted, remembers

those whose lives have been lost and

develops awareness. Visiting Australian Sam

Epstein helped to organise kids' Aids Day

activities in Jhansi and distributed hygiene

packs (Fig. 4). World Aids Day was com-

memorated with awareness presentations

from YWAM (Youth With A Mission). The

children made posters afterward (Fig. 5). In

RN (Bungoma) a Volley Ball match was held,

and participants donated coins to AIDS

research. Before Robin & Grahame visited

India last year, Hunter Christian Church

provided a lovely donation so children could

receive their first-ever school stationery (Fig.

6). Sewing training is starting for young

single mums to be apprenticed in Bungoma

sewing shops (Fig. 7). We have a call for

supporters who can contribute to the

apprenticeship costs and, if successful, we

will help these girls to start a new job, or their

own business, by providing their own sewing

machine and gear. We also provide micro-

loans to individuals such as farmers for small

businesses as funds are available. Nothing

could happen without our volunteers and

monthly sponsors, and we thank you all.
