This is a picture of Pradeep, a six year old boy and his three year old sister, Prabodhani. These precious children were sitting on their mother's lap about 2 years ago when rebel soldiers came into the house during the night and shot their parents dead. NCM was responsible for starting a CDC in Eluvakulam, the village in northern Sri Lanka, where Pradeep and his sister live. This picture was taken as they were about to go into the CDC. Your gift can provide hope for children who struggle with the realities of loss of family, poverty, disease and hunger.
