Untouchable? Not to GFA World Child Sponsorship Program

WILLS POINT, TX – Discover how the GFA World Child Sponsorship Program centre is transforming the life of Raza, an “untouchable” boy, through education and God’s love.

Nobody wanted to be around Raza—not on the street or when he was at school.

Because of the low caste of Raza’s family, the boy was considered “untouchable.” His family was not even allowed to visit the local temple.

Raza’s father works cleaning people’s toilets and sewage drains, while his mother stays home to take care of Raza, his three brothers and four sisters. Their father earns very little money to support them, so from a young age, Raza went out to look for odd jobs to help his family. He did everything from herding pigs to going door to door playing a drum.

One day, Raza’s mother heard some children talking about the Gospel for Asia Bridge of Hope centre they attended. She wasn’t sure if Raza would be accepted because they were untouchable, but she decided to try. So she took Raza to the centre and explained their situation to the staff.

To her amazement, Raza was admitted to the centre, and his life began to change for the better. He enjoys memorizing Bible verses, and his studies are important to him.
