PLEASE READ THIS. Taken in a Gypsy settlement close to Kallakurachi. India. Some of you will know me through my Writings and photographs of Extreme poor in Remote and Rural villages in Africa, and correspondence here on RB. God called me in 1994 to go and share his Message with the poor, disadvantaged and outcast, I have with great passion and little Financial support being doing what he has commissioned me to do. [My Passion in life is to reach as many poor and disadvantaged in Remote and rural villages with the Gospel of Jesus, and provide practical help and care]. I have with the help, Prayers and support of precious people worldwide been able to not only share Gods message of salvation, but provide Tools, Clothing, Bibles, Some School fees, Seeds, Medicines and other needful things to empower them to live better lives. Recently here on RB in the past two years, God has blessed me with many new precious friends. I thank God for you all. In Uganda during 2001-2003, God used me to expose Children being sold by extremely desperate and poor families, to those who had money and who they thought would give their child a better life. I detest this, yet in most cases, not all, the parents or carers could no longer provide for the child. With their government unable, or unwilling to help, they look to those outside their community and tribe for an answer. In India where I and the Philadelphia Charity are now working with NARI-KOR-AVARS gypsy tribe, I came across several cases of children for sale. I personally have been offered children. One for sale and one to take home to Britain and care for her. The reason why I am sharing this with you is that the above Photograph is of one such child. Some of you will experience feelings of Unbelief that this happens, and others strong emotions of anger and disgust. I am asking you to have a thought for the Mother of this child and pray for her. In extreme poverty, Outcast from Society and treated lower than a dog, almost everywhere she goes. She has tried her very best to provide food and shelter. She is sick in body and wept genuine tears of sorrow, as she asked me buy her child for for 5000 Rupees = $100. Please help us to help these precious parents and carers with tools, seeds, Clothing, income, practical help, so tey never be in the position of giving away or selling their child as a last resort to saving that child and giving it a better future. This is happening not just in India or Africa, but in other countries also. Some sell their children purely for selfish gains. But I have not yet met any. those I met are heartbroken and doing something that must be unthinkable to any of us . 100% of all money raised from sale of any of my art, or donations made via our charity website goes to help extreme poor in Africa and India. PLEASE STATE IF YOU MAKE A DONATION VIA BMAIL, IF YOU WANT YOUR DONATION TO GO TO INDIAN GYPSIES AID OR TO EXTREME POOR IN AFRICA.

Hiro ~ Pa mai pa mai ka makani nui o Hilo Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Sunset Ho’okipa Maui North Shore Hawai’i “THE INDIAN GYPSY by: Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) / “In tattered robes that hoard a glittering trace / Of bygone colours, broidered to the knee, / Behold her, / daughter of a wandering race, / Tameless, / with the bold falcon’s agile grace, / And the lithe tiger’s sinuous majesty. With frugal skill her simple wants she tends, / She folds her tawny heifers and her sheep / On lonely meadows when the daylight ends, / Ere the quick night upon her flock descends / Like a black panther from the caves of sleep. Time’s river winds in foaming centuries / Its changing, swift, irrevocable course To far off and incalculable seas; She is twin-born with primal mysteries, And drinks of life at Time’s forgotten source.” Poetry by Sarojini Naidu 1879 – 1949 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
