A dear wish answered by Swami

Sai Ram all Sai Readers

I only recently d to the Sai News from this site and a few days ago I came across the very inspirational story sent in by Sai Sister Shakuntla Vishani entitled 'Lesson from A Tea Cup'. This story is so touching that it flooded me with joy and hope and I felt really drawn to it, but even more, I was very intrigued by what was written under Sister Vishani's name, that is Sai Baba Community Service Project.

I was so interested that I immediately emailed Sister Vishani to learn more about her project and the email she sent back was just incredible. But more importantly, she spoke of the lovely work she was doing with the poor and needy in Tanzania and I felt really inspired to find out if I could contribute in my own way to her project. For quite a long time now, I have yearned secretly to sponsor the education of a child from a poor country, preferable a girl, to allow her to emancipate and bring progress to her country and family. Imagine my extreme surprise today when Sister Shakuntla replied to my email saying that they were actually waiting for a sponsor for a little girl from their project!!!! My joy knows no bounds and I am really dumbstruck by what cannot be termed even 'coincidence' for it cannot be coincidence. Firstly, I didn't even know it would be possible to sponsor a child from the project and secondly imagine the incredible chance that it is a little girl! If anyone wishes to join in and help sponsor more children or even help Sister Vishani's project, please let me know and I would be more than happy to give you her details.

I am so shocked and filled with Joy that I cannot describe my feelings in mere words. I am so grateful to our wonderful Lord for making my dream come true. Thank you Swami and thank you very much Sister Shakuntla for giving me this opportunity. I needed to share this miracle with you as it is just too incredible.

Sai Ram to everyone and I wish you all lots of Sai Love
