Comments from Kelly: "the big , beautiful brown eyes of India tell their story. The eyes of the mothers and fathers from the villages show times of hardship and desperation and a hope of a better life for their children. They eagerly hand over their babies for vaccines or to the mission for a better life than what they could provide.

The eyes of the children at the mission are full of hope, graciousness, curiosity and strength; but most prevelant is love. Their love is an overflowing love for others, God, and life. They know the true meaning of being God's servants to others. I've never seen a happier group of children, beaming with smiles and laughter. They have learned this kind of love from Brother Henry's example. He has shared his love for God with the children and opened his heart to them. I have never met a more humble, compassionate and generous man. His eyes shine with God's love and he is truly a generous man. His eyes shine with God's love and he is truly a man of God. What kind of world would we live in if everyone had a heart and eyes like his?"

Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. -Matthew 5:16 (NRSV)
