Another prayer with the little ones

little children in prayer

I then came down from the chapel to the ground floor to meet the little ones, who are woken up a little later, and they gathered in the hallway there for their little prayer, which I had the blessing to attend to. They were the chirpy little bunch, talking among themselves and having fun but when called for prayer, they prayed in one voice.

V for Victory!

After the prayer, they gathered around and greeted me. I got their attention, especially with a camera in hand and they posed gleefully for several clicks, before the sister whisked them away for their morning chores.

I then was served a cup of tea by my gracious hosts and I got the opportunity to talk with Fr. T.U. Thomas who had arrived by then. Thomas achen took me to his office room and showed me the older pictures of the kids and of previous visitors to the Balikagram.
