Divine providence in human hands
The sponsored child is at a great surprise to see the God's
providence executed through human hands of French Benefactor Mr.
Christian Bensnier.
I am Praveen hailing from Belwata village. I am the second son of my
father, who is no more and my mother Mrs. Reginamma, who is the only
bread winner of our family. And I have an elder brother, studying in
twelth grade. My mother is suffering from dangerous and incurable
disease, which has put her into feeble and vulnerable condition.
Soon after the death of my father, we were abandoned and left away on
the streets by his brothers and relatives. Being lonely and distressed
we knocked at the door of my grandmother's house for the shelter and
sought refuge. Though we were welcomed and comforted initially, but
later she too rejected us. In order to work and support my family I had
to discontinue my studies. Then we worked in the fields of a land lord
who assured us minimum wages and a hut to live in temporarily.
Mean while the illness of my mother grew severe and her health
deteriorated rapidly. At this hopeless and painful situation, VCT,
Director Fr. Sathish Fernandes came to our rescue and provided us food,
clothing and shelter. Mean time “Ensemble Agissons” France also, came to
our aid, and supported us enormously. Since we were sheltered under a
land lord’s house, without having any claim of land or house of our own,
Fr. Sathish Fernandes along with VCT Staff visited our family and
studied our case. After a long discussion and clarification they have
built a mobile house for us to live in and made us easy to shift from
one place to the other, perhaps we may be asked anytime by the land lord
to vacate his territory.
I am along with my family members express a deep felt gratitude from our
heart for the marvelous deeds you have done for us. Now we are very
happy to live in this new mobile house. Words would fall short to thank
enough my sponsor Mr. Christian Bensnier for his kindness and
generosity. I am even proud to say Mr. Christian Bensnier as my beloved
father.
