Brother James writes about some of the children who have recently been admitted to RTU's children's villages:

"One of the last children I admitted was an 8 year old street child, Murugeswari. For the last two years she has spent her days begging on the streets and bus stand of a nearby town."

"Sneka and Seema are two tiny, stunted girls, one is 6 and the other is 4. Stunted because of undernourishment, the polite, evasive word for semi-starvation. Both their parents attempted suicide, one way out of impossible hardships, by setting themselves on fire."

Paul Abbott has cycled 2777 miles from Manchester to Kallupatti, to raise over £8000 for RTU's house-building projects. OK, he didn't manage to cycle every inch of the way, but his epic trip from Manchester to Istanbul makes fascinating (and sometime harrowing) reading. Then from Mumbai to Kallupatti, heat and health issues forced him onto Indian buses for a lot of the journey. But he made it, and in time for Brother James' 85th birthday!

50 years old = 5 challenges!!!!! And in the case of supporter Chris Plumb, 5 cycle rides - including Land's End to John O'Groats!  Not as far as Paul Abbott, but just as worth sponsoring.  Chris has finished his rides, but you can still support him.
