As you can imagine, a great deal of fundraising was needed to get this building off the ground and reaching skywards. Every month was hard work as our little family grew and the school was in desperate need of supplies. Thanks to the generosity of family and friends here in Australia and of people we'd never met, this little project was now an enormous one.
Life became a little more difficult in Muzaffarpur, when bad flooding hit the area. Our home-school was safe but Monalisa took it upon herself to assist the flood-bound areas by providing food for flood victims. The newspaper article and photo are about those efforts.
In 2005, although our home was unfinished 7 more children joined Jyoti's family.
