Dear Donor,
The key to the success of the New Light shelters has everything to do with nurturing and treating each child as an individual. Loving behavior combined with teaching and guiding has been a successful component of New Light. With a continuum that works with children through school, New Light has assisted the most vulnerable child to stand tall and know they are precious. Each caregiver and volunteer understands the responsibility they have in being as loving, caring and firm as if they were the parent.
We encourage those who donate to also volunteer in India at New Light to see how their donation dollars have been spent. We ask that volunteers behave professionally and to respect the rules set forth put in place to protect the child. We ask that volunteers don't visit parents unless given permission although rarely granted. The children are from challenged backgrounds so try to be emphatic towards them without being sympathetic. Your respect is our respect.
Once you meet the children, you will always understand how important your donation dollars are and how much integrity New Light has in working with the children of trafficked women or women from inter-generational prostitution. New Light does its job by breaking the chain of sex work to provide children with an understanding of their worth.
Thank you!
