| Orphanages in India last updated 1 June 2007 "Don't let what you cannot do stop you from doing what you can do." Ram Gidoomal (from the Frishta Children's Home webpage) ' Frishta means Angel in several Asian languages (Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Farsi and Arabic) Looking to sponsor an orphanage or an orphan and want to know if it's legit? Here's a resource worth using: "Thanks for the listing. (Lifeline of Hope, Tuni) - http://kag.to/missions/orphans/orphans.html on your India page That page was originally a live presentation (brought in my laptop) to a Sunday School class of middle-schoolers who collect money for the orphanage. But since it was done, I decided to put it on my website. Now I am very glad I did. I recognized two of the India orphanages you listed, besides Tuni. My wife and I visit orphanages in India, Southeast Asia and East Africa for Lifeline of Hope, which financially sponsors many orphanages. Mostly I look for fraud, it runs about fifty percent in my experience. But a lot of American sponsors don't know how to spot it, and sadly, quite a few just do not want to know. If you have any field related questions, or if I can be of help in any other way, please write to me (e-mail address can be found at http://kag.to/missions/missions_email_address.html). Note - India has 28 states and six union territories (UTs) and one national capital territory. States have their own government, whereas UTs are administered by the Central government. However, Pondicherry, a UT, has its own elected government. The National Capital Territory of Delhi is a special region that has its own elected government and a status in between a state and a union territory.
