Building Your House
Image via Wikipedia An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He had been a fine craftsman building many houses over his career. All the house owners were proud to live in the beautiful houses he built.
The carpenter told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house-building business. He wanted to live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended family. Sure he would miss the paycheck each week, but he had some savings and the children were all grown up. They would chip in so he and his wife could get by.

The Room to Grow girls’ education program provides much more than an education for girls in need. It provides the opportunity for a future – for each girl, her family, and her community.
Suka Laxmi is eight years old. She loves to dance, sing, and read storybooks. She is a shy and well-disciplined girl both at home and in school. In the future, she hopes to be a teacher and impact other children’s lives for the better.
