The COVID pandemic has raised building prices from $6,000 to $9,500 per home. Still work is progressing, thanks to the help of many Barnabas donors.

The pandemic has hit India especially hard. Sr. Anne, whose order runs a children’s home in Kurusady, writes of her recovery:

Love and wishes from Sr. Anne from St. Antony’s Home.
Just yesterday I finished my medication, and I feel free! Still I have some post-COVID problems that I hope will not affect me much. The other sisters show much concern for my health. And your love and concern for our children is giving me health and happiness! . . .
The government has licensed us to care for abandoned children. At present we have five newborn babies under our care. They were born out of wedlock and then thrown out. We are very happy to have them with us. Thank you so much for your concern for these children!
Will you help us get a refrigerator ($300)?
With love and prayers.
Sr. Anne
