On Saturday, the Hand of Hope Legal Services team hosted our fourth and fifth standard students for a spectacular day out. They organized a fun football between our team and the A.P. Police. 
There were high-ranking government officials, including the Chief of Police of the state, and there was even a Telegu movie star! Here he is, in orange. This guy has tens of millions of fans in South India, more fans than David Hasselhoff has in Germany.
The children really enjoyed this day. They chattered on and on in the sunshine, they cheered for the teams, they teased each other and ran all around. And they loved riding on a private bus, bouncing all along the way with their friends (with Neha teacher and Divya teacher as chaperones).
They didn't smile for the picture, but I promise they were hooting and hollering all day.
Stephen Sen and his partner at the law firm, Raju, arranged for hundreds of very deserving children to attend. All the children are struggling: some have HIV or AIDS, some are from severely deprived homes, others are orphans. All of them have vastly difficult lives and they truly loved having a day outside in the fresh air and outside of their worries.
A big surprise was each student received a gift box of goodies from Samaritan’s Purse. The kids just couldn't get over it. The event made the papers and the T.V., thanks to the movie stars and the Chief. This brought much needed media attention to the organizations serving the children who attended.
