SOLM’s Youth Mission is currently proposing to undertake a project to provide a residential home for the orphaned children. The aim of the project is to provide relief to the suffering orphans by giving shelter, education and vocational training so that they can lead a life with self-respect and social status in a period of five years. The strategy to be followed will be as follows:

• Arrange for formal School education to orphans and children in vulnerable situations either in Government or Private schools until the children are able to get a higher secondary qualification (i.e plus 2)
• Provide vocational training in an appropriate trade to those who have completed their school education.
• Provide moral education combined with socio- political awareness.
• Provide residential facility with better atmosphere for learning and studying so that higher educational standards can be achieved...
• When the project can be successfully demonstrated with expected results, the model used can be replicated to educate more orphans and weaker section children in newer areas and regions.

Rationale for this Project and Target Children

SOLM- YOUTH MISSION has been working for grass roots development in Kanchipuram District in Tamil Nadu. This area comprises of 80% land less agricultural labourers families, whose prospects for regular income is very low and hence they face a very uncertain and miserable life during the entire year resulting in the prevalence of endemic poverty. The situation is even more pathetic in the case of Dalit families who are also socially excluded and therefore are doubly disadvantaged. Compounding their problem is that in many families, male members migrate to urban areas looking for higher income deserting the wife and children in the villages. Women and children are left to fend for themselves. In many instances, both parent migrate abandoning the children in the care of grand parents and when grand parents pass away, as it is most likely, the children are orphaned. Another group of children are seen just totally abandoned and neglected by the rural communities for one reason or the other. Yet another group that requires our attention is children of commercial sex workers who not only face social stigma but also economic and social deprivation. Furthermore, female children of CSWs face the prospects of following their mothers as CSWs. Similarly, children of leprosy affected parents are yet another group who will need our attention. Yet another group of children we would like to include in our project is those whose parents have died during natural or manmade disasters such as tsunami and road and other types of accidents. These children often end up as domestic or farm hands in the households of rural gentry working for pittance of wages with the most inhuman and slave-like form of exploitation one can imagine. We propose to establish a residential care center where these children can be provided shelter and nutritious food as well as facilities for pursuing their formal and vocational education. The residential school would also have a agricultural farm so that children would learn to raise a vegetable garden, dairy and poultry for their own consumption.

VISION OF KIDS MISSION
There are things we can do to help our kids love the nations and the cause of Christ, even though a heart and calling for the Great Commission is ultimately something only God can grant. Here are a few ideas from our son T.Sundher Abhishek, who is currently preparing to serve in India.

1. Pray for missionaries through out the world To give a stack of prayer cards on the dinner table and rotate through them during mealtime prayers.
2. Read missionary biographies to our children. The stories of Hudson Taylor, Adoniram Judson, William Carey, Gladys Aylward, and other missionary pioneers including th elife of missionaries who served in India, are captivating ways to a child’s heart on the most important things in life. We’ll make it available in Sunday schools in churches.
3. Draw the whole family into supporting missionaries financially. Teach our kids from a young age that being a good steward of their money involves channeling resources toward the cause of Christ in missions. Younger children can earn money doing chores around the house which can be set aside for missionaries.
4. Find our child a missionary kid pen pal. Many children of missionaries around the world would be delighted to get mail from a child their age from a different culture. Your child (and the whole family) will learn valuable insights about living abroad through the eyes of a child. Additionally, when the missionaries visit your church, your child will already have a relationship with the missionary kid and will be able to include them more easily. Guidance and help will be given.
5. Entertain missionaries in our home. Inviting missionaries over will be as much of a blessing to our family as to the missionaries. Host them for dinner or for a whole furlough. Build or buy your house with this in mind.
6. Take risks as a family. There are ways to live life which help children grasp the reality that discomfort and suffering are normal and rewarding parts of the Christian experience. Volunteer at a rescue mission, taking them to slums and remote villages.
7. Affirm and nurture qualities in our children which could serve them on the mission field. As our children grow in knowledge and skill, encourage them to think about how they could use their gifts in missions work. Then, if God says, “GO,” release them to GO!
8. Teach our children to be world Christians. Don't expose them to only the Indian perspective on news and realities around the world. Go out of your way to make them more aware than the average Indian Christian about geography, world history, and the plights and perspectives of people and children across the globe.
9. Read missionary prayer letters to our children. Ask them questions about the content and look up facts about the missionaries’ location.
10. Use missions fact books and resources such as Operation World, the Global Prayer Digest, the Joshua Project, and Voice of the Martyrs (VOM). Kids of Courage is the youth-oriented arm of VOM and offers activity books, spotlights on the persecuted world, and more.

Most of all, pray every day that your kids will develop hearts that mirror God’s compassion for the nations and love for his glory in them!
