The Rhema Project

Wrapping up in Danishpet. Had a great time eating Dosa, shopping for the Lydia Home girls and spending time with these lovely faces.

Day 3: shenanigans visiting one of the after school community programs, meeting more community college students in pennagaram, an authentic Kerala breakfast with Bethel CEO and friend Ebey, and more TRP adventures.

Day 2: visiting community college, updates, and seeing the work happening in after care programs… and of course some monkeying around!! Heehee 😂

The Rhema Project is back at it!!! Love being back home with our friends in India…

We just posted our second episode for families and caregivers of PANDAS kids!
(1) There are two “surviving the flares” episodes we hurried up and got out quickly because we know the support is needed.
We are working on a whole series next that will be titled “Flying Through Fog” (Flying Through Fog: Support for Those Who Love a Pans/Pandas Child will correspond on Facebook)
(2) These two episodes (and all forthcoming) are meant to not only give parents resources, but to also be shared from you to others (family, schools, close friends) so you dont have to spend so much time repeating yourselvesWe just posted our second episode for families and caregivers of PANDAS kids!https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Ftools-to-help-your-family-survive-a-pans-pandas-flare%2Fid1749126771%3Fi%3D1000657956058&h=AT3g7Ug0WooqZRIZItHhf38pLlw4LrgPUQeFjcA9TbkFsjtKjMjdS2KufSUr7reOx0k0PIqp7zSiEXtto99qo1bfFk2uuuP_q4dkJCADcG0FrtxQzfGVG4DtdWJ-74SDscQ5tSc&__tn__=%2CmH-R&c[0]=AT2hNzpS9kfFQUPiwp1vgHzwKS-dm5qFm2I2Ps3kfYaXRZ6YwKzbnZSE3SbckiE6j0zx5Mf-ieixsZ6AtS8OZxC6JKstfcDVJVFjRv8UxI7wp5kwDuCX9B5K7Rq-UCSt0i-r19OVRJllPuHk4Aq7yX3YTOqpqGk2nR65CvGaxzkIlfzuQAAmhAeHBZKx7gzMTVE_yX-tx2XlPuIzH4HU2S8vHSNwyQT30OCIZpU0sQGvPXY

When the TRP leadership team was in India last month, we did more than teach the college girls how to play pickleball. We also spent some time with some of the students listening to their stories, hearing about their lives. Here is one of those stories. This is why we keep doing what we do for them. This is why we keep reaching out to anyone who has time to listen and has a desire to help. One hundred percent of all donated funds go directly to support the work for the prevention of female gendercide, the care of orphans and education.

The girls at Bethel AFC dont really have a lot to do on campus after their studies each day. Well, now that has changed. On our recent trip, we introduced them to pickleball. Take a look... https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/751669007

Mr. Gene Uncle.. Can we play pickleball now ? The Rhema Project - Bringing Life, Hope, Education and a brighter future to girls of South India. http://www.therhemaproject.org

A day at the Bethel Agricultural Fellowship (BAF) farm. BAF is bringing innovative initiates to the farm table to create more financial self sufficiency. They currently grow, soybeans, tapioca, bananas, coconut, rice, seasonal vegetables, and turmeric.

They have just added fresh liquid coconut oil for purchase, and have taken three acres of land to plant a mango, lime, and guava orchard.

The farm is home to cows and chickens which provide milk, fresh eggs and other sustenance. While there, BAF staff were kind and gracious; providing us with fresh coconut water full of electrolytes- straight from the tree.

Beautiful place nestled beneath Shevroyan Hills near Elkhart.

Super fun day of pickle ball court installation and gift appreciation day to help meet some of the needs of the girls- earrings, necklaces, bracelets, underwear, hair ties, gel pens and of course- chocolate. A number of these came from donors and The Rhema Project is so proud to be able to say that EVERY donation (big or small) goes directly to these gals to help them feel empowered and loved!
