Featured Story: Rising Star Outreach

While visiting India in 2000, Becky Douglas, the founder of
Rising Star Outreach observed a depth of suffering that was
palpable. She witnessed human beings in deplorable
conditions. Worst of all were the Leprosy beggars, who
would approach her at every stop begging for help. The RSO
mission, as stated on their
website
is to "...help the Leprosy colonies become thriving,
self-sufficient communities."
They are accomplishing this through three major
initiatives:
- to educate the colony children in a safe, healthy environment
- to provide leprosy patients with their own small businesses using micro-finance
- to address the unique health challenges of the colonies with mobile medical units
It's easy to help! Log on to their website to find out how!
