How Lucky We Are

Sometimes we just don’t know how lucky we are.

I was in Hyderabad looking at one of the local programmes supported by our Department for International Development and I called in at the Don Bosco Navajeevan – a home for abandoned and destitute boys.

The boys are thrown out by their parents or are simply found wandering the streets or hanging around the railway station. In the last month before my visit they had admitted 288 boys, 15 aged under five, 6 between six and ten, 245 between 11 and 15 and 21 under 21.
