I THINK YOU HAD A CHANCE TO PEEK 05:42 IN PLACES WHERE ISLAND IMPACT IS IMPACTING CHILDREN. 05:46 THE STORIES ARE QUITE DIFFERENT OVERSEAS THAN HERE. 05:49 WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW IT'S HAPPENING IN THIS CRISIS 05:52 ENVIRONMENT, BUT BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING, WE HAVE SOME MUSIC. 05:58 ANOTHER PERSON THAT'S PORT OF CHILD IMPACT. 06:00 >> HE'S A FRIEND OF THE MINISTRY , JAMIE GEORGE. 06:07 >> HE'S BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE AND TRAVELED WITH US. 06:16 >> HE'S GOING A SHARE A RENDITION OF A MIGHTY FORTRESS. 06:31 [ MUSIC ] >> THAT'S THE WAY TO GAIN 09:56 PROGRAM, A MIGHTY FORTRESS. >> YES! 10:00 DID HE PLAY OR WHAT? >> IF IT WAS SPEEDING, HE'D 10:03 PROBABLY GET A TICKET.

WE CALL IT THE NEW NORMAL, JUST 10:48 A CRAZY WORLD, AND SINCE WE ARE LIVE TONIGHT, TELL US, HOW IS 10:53 CHILD IMPACT DOING IN THIS COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT? 10:56 >> WELL, AS FAR AS CHILD IMPACT'S CONCERNED, WE'VE BEEN 11:01 VERY BLESSED IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT FROM OUR SUPPORTERS 11:06 AND DONORS, BUT WE CERTAINLY ARE FACING SOME CHALLENGES IN THE 11:11 FIELD. WE OPERATE PRINCIPALLY IN SIX 11:15 COUNTRIES, INDIA, BANGLADESH, MYANMAR, NEPAL, SRI LANKA AND 11:22 ZAMBIA. WE TAKE CHILDREN BASED ON NEED, 11:26 SO THEY COME FROM VERY POOR BACKGROUNDS AND VILLAGES MAINLY 11:29 AND WE PUT THEM IN ADVENTIST MISSION SCHOOLS. 11:33 WHEN THIS PANDEMIC BROKE, IT WAS JUST ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE 11:37 SCHOOL HOLIDAYS, SO THE SCHOOLS ACTUALLY CLOSED JUST BEFORE THE 11:43 BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS, AND THAT CREATED THE 11:46 FIRST PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY MISSED THE EXAMS, AND ALSO, 11:51 THAT'S THE TIME OF YEAR WHERE THE PAYING STUDENTS PAY THEIR 11:56 BILLS, SO IT WAS OFF TO A VERY BAD START. 11:59 THEY MISSED THEIR EXAMS, AND THE SCHOOL LOST A LOT OF VALUABLE 12:06 INCOME. NOW DURING THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS, 12:08 WE CONTINUE TO PAY THE SCHOOL, BECAUSE WE PAY THEM IN 12 EQUAL 12:14 INSTALLMENTS WITH THAT NOW IT'S THE END OF THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS 12:17 AND THE SCHOOLS ARE STILL CLOSED. 12:21 WHEN WILL THEY OPEN? I GUESS WE DON'T REALLY KNOW, 12:24 BUT IT'S CERTAINLY GOING TO BE A WHILE. 12:30 I HAVE TO SAY THE SITUATION IS GRIM. 12:34 THE POOR PEOPLE IN SOCIETY, THE PANDEMIC IS RACING THROUGH INDIA 12:39 AND BANGLADESH AND MYANMAR, AND YOU CAN IMAGINE THE SITUATION IN 12:48 THESE VILLAGES. I THINKIZES UNDERREPORTED THE 12:56 PROBLEM, THEY'RE NOT GETTING GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE, THE OTHER 13:00 CRISIS THESE MISSION SCHOOLS, ADVENTIST MISSION SCHOOLS WERE 13:05 UNDER FINANCIAL PRESSURE BEFORE THIS, SO WHEN THEY OPENED, WHEN 13:08 THEY OPENED, THERE'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM, BUT RIGHT NOW, MOST 13:11 OF THE SCHOOLS CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THEIR TEACHERS. 13:15 MOST OF THE PASTORS IN THE POOR AREAS ARE NOT BEING PAID, AND SO 13:22 THERE'S TWO ISSUES, NOW THE KIDS AT HOME AND THE TEACHERS NOT 13:27 BEING PAID BUT WHEN THE SCHOOLS OPEN, IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH FOR 13:31 THESE MISSION SCHOOLS. >> WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BRIDGE 13:40 THE GAP. WHEN SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED, THEY 13:43 ARE NOT BEING EDUCATED, NOT BEING SUPPORTED, FINANCIAL 13:46 DROPOUT WITNESS BE WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE? 13:48 >> THE DINERS ARE ASKING, WE SPONSOR OVER 3,000 CHILDREN IN 13:53 THESE COUNTRIES. WE'RE IN OVER 130 SCHOOLS AND OF 13:57 COURSE THE SPONSORS ARE FATEFULLY PAYING THE MONEY AND 14:02 THEY'RE SAYING WHAT'S HAPPENING, KIDS AREN'T GETTING THE MONEY. 14:05 WE'VE BEEN GRAPPLING WITH THIS, BECAUSE WE WANT TO SUPPORT THE 14:09 SCHOOL TO MAKE SURE IT OPENS WHEN IT DOES OPEN THAT IT'S 14:23 FUNCTIONING. TONIGHT, WE'RE ANNOUNCING A 14:27 POLICY, IT'S NOT PERFECT, THERE'S NO EASY ANSWER. 14:38 15% OF THE SPONSORSHIP MONEY WILL GO TO THE SCHOOL. 14:43 15% WILL GO TO THE CHILD TO HELP THE CHILD AND FAMILY WHO ARE 14:51 GETTING NO SUPPORT AND A LOT OF THEM ARE IN CRISIS. 14:54 OUR FIELD STAFF CAN CONTACT THE PARENT BY THEMSELVES OR THEIR 15:00 NEIGHBOR AND WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR BEST TO GET MONEY EACH MONTH 15:04 DIRECT TO THE CHILD. THAT WILL KEEP A LITTLE BALANCE 15:08 BETWEEN THE SCHOOL STILL GETTING FUNDS AND THE CHILD GETTING SOME 15:13 ASSISTANCE IN THIS CRISIS. THE ONES WE CAN CONTACT WILL 15:17 HOLD THE MONEY BACK FOR WHEN SCHOOL STARTS AND THEN ON TOP OF 15:21 THAT, WE'VE BEEN RUNNING A -- WHICH NOW BECOMES CRITICAL AND 15:28 WHEN SCHOOL OPENS, WE'RE GOING TO SUPPLY ALL THE BOARDINGS 15:33 SCHOOLS RICE FOR SIX MONTHS, SO THAT WILL GIVE IMMEDIATE RELIEF 15:36 TO THE MISSION SCHOOLS AND IT WILL ALSO ENSURE THE CHILDREN 15:41 ARE FED BECAUSE THESE SCHOOLS DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY. 15:44 >> IS IT MORE THAN RICE? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, OUR PROBLEM 15:49 IS THAT THE COMPLICATION OF BUYING FOOD, SO PRINCIPALLY, 15:54 IT'S RICE, BUT IF THE SCHOOL WANTS TO SPEND SOME ON 15:58 VEGETABLES, THEY CAN, BUT THE BASICS OF THE FOOD IN THESE 16:01 COUNTRIES IS RICE AND SO WE SUPPLY THE RICE. 16:06 IT'S WE'RE REALLY PROVIDING 80% OF THE FOOD, THE VALUE, THE CASH 16:12 VALUE OF THE FOOD. WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE CASH, THE 16:15 MOMENT YOU START HANDING OUT CASH, IT'S SUBJECT TO ALL SORTS 16:18 OF PROBLEMS. >> BECAUSE YOU'RE TALKING AROUND 16:20 THE WORLD, AND IT'S YOU A DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT 16:24 ALTOGETHER. SOMEBODY DONATES MONEY DIRECTLY 16:25 TO CHILD IMPACT, WE KNOW, BUT WHEN YOU START SENDING IT AROUND 16:30 THE WORLD, WIRING IT, A DIFFERENT STORY ALTOGETHER. 16:36 WHEN YOU SAY RICE, WE WENT TO DINNER ONE EVENING AND THERE WAS 16:40 THIS POT OF RICE LOOKED LIKE YOU COULD PUT A CHILD IN THAT POT. 16:45 IT WAS SO LARGE. NO PUN INTENDED, IT WAS HUGE AND 16:49 THE RICE IS A SIGNIFICANT STAPLE. 16:51 WE SAW THE CHILDREN EATING AND REMEMBER YOU SAID THAT LITTLE 16:55 BOY HAS A PLATE LARGER THAN MINE. 16:57 >> A HUGE PLATE OF RICE. >> ALSO THE CRISIS THE TEACHERS 17:02 ARE FACING. THESE SCHOOLS HAVE GOT NO MONEY. 17:09 WE HAD A REQUEST FROM THE BIGGEST UNION, THE CHURCH UNION 17:13 AND THE TEACHERS ARE NOT BEING PAID. 17:16 WE AGREED TO GIVE EACH TEACHER A BAG OF RICE. 17:23 THIS RICE AND HEALTH APPEAL IS WHAT WE'RE REALLY CHEERING 17:26 TONIGHT BECAUSE IT WILL BENEFIT TEACHERS, COULD POSSIBLY BENEFIT 17:32 PASTORS BUT IT WILL BENEFIT CHILDREN. 17:35 THIS WAS AN APPEAL WE BROUGHT IN TO HELP FEED CHILDREN IN 17:39 BANGLADESH WHERE RICE HAD GONE UP IN PRICE BECAUSE OF THE 17:42 FLOODING, BUT NOW THIS APPEAL WAS CRITICAL FOR US IN THIS TIME 17:47 AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. >> OK, GOOD. 17:49 I WANT TO LET OUR VIEWERS AND LISTENERS KNOW WE ARE GOING TO 17:54 GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS 18:05 CRISIS. WE PRAY, THE COVID GOES DOWN, 18:14 GOES UP AND LIVES IMPACTED IN A VERY AMAZING WAY. 18:18 LET'S DIVE INTO CHILD IMPACT. >> YEAH, EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW, 18:21 WHERE'S YOUR ACCENT FROM FIRST OF ALL AND THEN SECONDLY, TELL 18:26 US HOW CHILD IMPACT GOT STARTED. >> WELL I'M FROM NEW ZEALAND, 18:37 I'M KIWI. I CAME TO AMERICA 13 YEARS AGO 18:40 AND I'VE BEEN IN THIS ROLE NOW OVER 12 YEARS. 18:44 CHILD IMPACT IN AMERICA USED TO BE CALLED OCCASION SHEN AID. 18:48 IT STARTED IN AUSTRALIA. IT'S STILL VERY STRONG IN 18:52 AUSTRALIA, AND DOES VERY SIMILAR WORK TO US, AND SO IN AUSTRALIA, 18:57 IT'S ASIAN AID AND CHILD IMPACT INTERNATIONAL IS THE AMERICAN 19:03 SIDE OF IT. TWO LADIES, INCLUDING OUR 19:17 COFOUNDER, THEY STARTED GOING UP TO ASIA LOOKING AFTER ORPHANS 19:24 AND CHILDREN AND IT GREW FROM THERE. 19:38 HELEN IS A BIT OF A MOTHER TERESA AND SHE'S HIGHLY 19:42 RESPECTED, AND SHE BUILT THIS ORGANIZATION. 19:53 WE CHANGE PITTED NAME BECAUSE WE WANTED TO EXPAND OUTSIDE ASIA, 19:56 AND NOW WE'RE IN ZAMBIA, SO IT'S A LONG ESTABLISHED ORGANIZATION, 20:04 AND WE'RE A STRONG PARTNER WITH THE CHURCH AND THE UNIQUE THING 20:09 IS WE SUPPORT THE ADVENTIST MISSION SCHOOL. 20:17 >> YOU'RE THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK. 20:20 TELL US IN THE TIME YOU'VE BEEN WITH CHILD IMPACT, WHAT IMPACT 20:25 HAVE YOU SEEN AND THE THINGS, EXPERIENCES YOU'VE HAD. 20:29 >> WHEN I FIRST STARTED AT CHILD IMPACT, I BELIEVE A YEAR WENT BY 20:34 BEFORE I ACTUALLY VISITED THE FIELD. 20:36 YOU KNOW, LIKE WORKING AT THE OFFICE AND WORKING WITH YOU'VE 20:39 SEEN THE PICTURES OF THE CHILDREN, THE PROFILES, AND I 20:42 MEAN, IT REALLY, IT'S HARD TO BRING IT, IT'S HARD TO REALLY 20:45 IMAGINE THE IMPACT THAT YOUR WORK AND THE MONEY THAT THE 20:50 DONORS AND THE SPONSORS ARE GIVING TO THE ORGANIZATION, THE 20:53 IMPACT THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY MAKING IN THE FIELD, BUT ONCE 20:56 YOU GET TO GO TO THE FIELD, VISIT THE SCHOOLS WHICH I DID IN 21:01 2019, IN APRIL OF 2019, I WENT TO INDIA. 21:05 >> WHICH SCHOOL? >> I WENT ALL OVER. 21:09 II WENT TO THE DEAF SCHOOL, THE BLIND SCHOOL IN THE STATE AND 21:16 THEN THERE IS WHERE YOU ACTUALLY GET TO SEE THE IMPACT OF ALL THE 21:30 WORK YOU ARE DOING IN THE OFFICE IN THE LIFE OF CHILDREN AND 21:35 ORPHANS AND DEAF CHILDREN AND BLIND CHILDREN AND REGULAR DAY 21:39 STUDENTS THAT THEIR PANCHTS COULD NOT AFFORD TO SEND THEM TO 21:45 SCHOOL. SOME OF THE CASES, THAT'S THEIR 21:48 ONLY WAY OF HEARING ABOUT CHRIST, THEIR ONLY EXPOSURE TO 21:54 THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST. >> THAT IS SO TRUE. 21:57 I REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE IN INDIA, THEY WERE, MOST OF THE 22:00 KIDS WERE NOT CHRISTIANS. >> OH, YOU MEAN THAILAND, YOU 22:06 MEAN, MYANMAR. >> MYANMAR, RIGHT, REMEMBER WE 22:09 WALKED IN AND THEY WERE SINGING. >> HAD OBJECT HUNDREDS OF 22:14 STUDENTS. >> HUNDREDS, IN UNIFORM. 22:17 >> YOU MADE A VERY GOOD POINT, BECAUSE THE IMPACT, IT JUST 22:20 MOVES OUR HEART AND WE ASKED THE QUESTION HOW ARE ALL THESE 22:26 ADVENTIST STUDENTS, SOME OF THEM ARE NOT EVEN CHRISTIAN. 22:29 >> BUDDHIST OR SOMETHING THAT THAT WAS IN MYANMAR. 22:33 IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE HOW THEIR LIVES HAVE BEEN CHANGED. 22:37 THEY'VE BECOME MISSIONARIES BECAUSE SOME OF THE CHILDREN 22:39 COME THERE, THEY SING ABOUT JESUS TO GET TO KNOW ABOUT JESUS 22:43 AND THEN THEY GO BACK TO THEIR VIJ VILLAGES TO THEIR FAMILIES 22:51 TO SHARE ABOUT JESUS. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE LOCALS 22:58 DIDN'T LIKE THE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS BUT NOW THE ATTITUDES 23:02 HAVE CHANGED AND THAT'S AN AMAZING THING. 23:04 YOU MENTIONED THE BLIND SCHOOL. >> WE HAVE SOME FOOTAGE. 23:08 >> WE HAVE A TALK ABOUT THE BLIND SCHOOL TO IDENTIFY TO 23:12 THOSE WHO MAY BE WATCHING. >> CHILD IMPACT FUNDS A BLIND 23:21 SCHOOL BUILT BY THE MCNELLIS FAMILY. 23:31 WE CAN SEE FOOTAGE OF THE BLIND SCHOOL. 23:35 THE CHILDREN COME FROM VERY, VERY POOR VILLAGES. 23:38 THIS SCHOOL IS AN AMAZING IN PLACE. 23:40 THESE CHILDREN WOULD HAVE NO HOPE IF IT WASN'T FOR THE 23:45 SCHOOL. SOME DO HAVE A LITTLE SIGHT, BUT 23:51 THEY ALL PRINCIPALLY HAVE BLINDNESS IN ONE FORM OR 23:55 ANOTHER. YOU'LL SEE SOM ALBINOS THERE 23:58 BECAUSE THEY COME FROM FAMILIES AND THEY CAN'T LOOK IN THE 24:02 SUNLIGHT, AND SO THEY HAVE A FORM OF BLINDNESS. 24:09 SO THIS IS A KEY SCHOOL FOR CHILD IMPACT. 24:13 IT'S A SCHOOL THAT I LOVE GOING TO. 24:19 THE LITTLE BOY THERE IS A FRIEND OF MINE, SAMMY. 24:21 >> I REMEMBER HIM. >> YEAH. 24:26 SO THIS SCHOOL IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR PROGRAM ALONG WITH 24:30 THE DEAF SCHOOL, AND IT'S A DELIGHT TO VISIT. 24:40 JOSUE, YOU'VE BEEN THERE. >> IT WAS TRULY SPECIAL. 24:41 I THINK EVERY SCHOOL I VISITED IN INDIA WAS AN AMAZING 24:45 EXPERIENCE BUT THE BLIND SCHOOL AND THE DEAF SCHOOL, THE 24:48 CHILDREN ARE EXTRA SPECIAL. >> DID YOU PLAY YOUR VIOLENCE -- 24:56 VIOLIN THERE? >> I DID PLAY MY VIOLIN. 24:59 IT WAS VESPERS TIME AND I GOT THERE DURING THE WORSHIP AND TO 25:03 MY SURPRISE, SOME OF THE CHILDREN WERE PLAYING 25:06 INSTRUMENTS, PIANO, DRUMS, THEY WERE SINGING. 25:15 THEY HAVE TAUGHT THEMSELVES TO PLAY PIANO, DRUMS AND HAD 25:20 SOMEHOW FORMED A WORSHIP BAND AND THEY WERE PLAYING MUSIC. 25:23 IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. SOME OF THEM HAD NEVER GOTTEN TO 25:27 HEAR A VIOLIN, AND I PLAYED FOR THEM, AND YOU THEY REALLY ARE 25:36 ALL SPECIAL. >> VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THAT. 25:39 NOW EVER ANY OF THE CHILDREN EVER BEEN HEALED OF THEIR 25:46 BLINDNESS? >> SOME HAVE HAD CATARACT 25:50 SURGERY. >> IT VARIES. 26:05 WE'VE HAD GOOD SUCCESS. >> THEY GO LIKING TO FIND BLIND 26:26 CHILDREN. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO COPE WITH 26:27 A SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD. THIS GIRL, I THINK WAS NINE, 26:31 SHE'D BEEN CHAINED TO A POLE IN THE BASEMENT OF THE HOUSE. 26:34 NOW TO US, IT WAS CHALKING, BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT HER ROAMING 26:40 AROUND TRIPPING AND GETTING INTO DANGER. 26:43 WE FINALLY CONVINCED HER, CONVINCED THE PARENTS THAT SHE 26:47 SHOULD COME TO THE SCHOOL, AND I WAS THERE THE DAY SHE ARRIVED, 26:51 AND SHE WAS SCARED, SHE WAS FRIGHTENED. 26:55 SHE WAS SITTING IN THE CORNER, HER FACE WAS TERRIFIED. 27:01 THE GREAT NEWS IS I WENT BACK SEVEN WEEKS LATER ON AN URGENT 27:05 TRIP AND THERE SHE WAS, SHE WAS SMILING. 27:09 SHE WAS SINGING. SHE WAS HOLDING THE HANDS OF 27:13 OTHER CHILDREN AND WALKING AROUND, AND IT BROUGHT A TEAR TO 27:19 MY EYE JUST TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE. 27:21 NOW, WAS SHE LEARNING? SHE WAS LEARNING BASIC 27:29 EDUCATION. SHE WAS GIVEN HOPE. 27:34 THEN HER PARENTS WALKED IN THE GATE AND THEY COULD SEE THE 27:40 DIFFERENCE. WHERE DO YOU TAKE A BLIND CHILD? 27:46 THIS SCHOOL IS VERY IMPORTANT. WE HAVE TO FUND IT TOTALLY, SO 27:50 YOU CAN SPONSOR A BLIND CHILD, YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE BLIND 27:54 DEAF AND ORPHAN FUND. >> WE HAD A PICTURE, ALSO OF THE 27:58 BLIND SCHOOL. I WANT TO SHOW THAT PICTURE. 28:04 WE JUST SO YOU THE FOOTAGE. >> IT'S IN THE AERIAL COUNTRY, 28:09 IN A TOWN CALLED BAUBLEY. IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT. 28:16 >> I REMEMBER CLIMBING THAT TOWER. 28:21 >> THE BORDER TOWER. >> IT WAS PRETTY SHAKY. 28:24 I REMEMBER THINKING OH, I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD BE HERE. 28:28 I COULD HEAR THE MUSIC FROM THE CAMPUS START TO COME IN. 28:32 WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BLIND SCHOOL, WE WITNESSED THIS, 28:35 STUDENTS CREATE RELATIONSHIP WITNESS EACH OTHER. 28:37 I SAWS WHERE THERE WAS A GROUP OF ABOUT FIVE GUYS HOLDING EACH 28:43 OTHER'S HANDS, AND I GUESS ONE OF THEM DECIDED TO TAKE THE 28:47 LEAD. THEY WERE COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE 28:49 AND I NOTICED THAT WHOLE IDEOLOGY WHERE THEY WERE HELPING 28:55 EACH OTHER, AND SINGING OUT LOUD. 28:58 IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING. I THINK THAT WAS THE SCHOOL 29:01 WHERE THEY ALSO I THINK THEY DID A PLAY THAT EVENING WITH DAVID 29:06 AND GOLIATH. >> THE ONE HELPING IS THE ONE 29:10 THAT'S NOT FULLY BLIND BUT PARTIALLY BLIND AND THEN HE 29:13 HELPS THE ONES THAT ARE FULLY BLIND. 29:15 >> I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. YOU CAN SEE SLIGHTLY. 29:20 IT'S AMAZING. YOU THINK IF YOU HAD TO LOSE ONE 29:23 OF YOUR SENSES, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE? 29:25 YOU PROBABLY WOULD SAY I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE BLIND BUT TO 29:28 THOSE CHILDREN, THEY HAVE LEARNED TO GROW IN AN 29:31 ENVIRONMENT WHERE, YOU KNOW, CHILD IMPACT. 29:32 >> OTHER SENSES KICK IN. HOW DOES SOMEONE SPONSOR A 29:39 CHILD? HOW DOES THAT WORK. 29:51 >> JOSUE CAN TELL US, THAT'S WHAT HE DOES ALL DAY. 29:55 >> THERE ARE MULTIPLE WAYS, PROBABLY THE MOST PERSONAL WAY 29:57 WOULD BE ON LINE BECAUSE THE PERSON GOING ON LINE TO OUR 30:01 WEBSITE WHICH YOU WILL FIND ON OUR SCREEN, CHILDIMPACT.ORG. 30:10 YOU CAN READ THE CHILDREN AVAILABLE FOR SPONSORSHIP, READ 30:14 THEIR BIOS, SEE THE DIFFERENT RATES OF HIS SPONSORSHIP WE 30:18 HAVE. WE HAVE DAY STUDENTS, WE HAVE 30:20 BORDER STUDENTS AND WE HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS. 30:24 THOSE ARE ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPONSORSHIPS. 30:27 THE SPONSOR CAN GO ON THE WEBSITE, CHOOSE THE CHILD TO 30:31 SPONSOR AND START SPONSORING. ONCE THEY START SPONSORING, WE 30:37 SEND THEM A PROFILE OF THE CHILD WITH THEIR PICTURE, WITH THEIR 30:42 DETAILS AND WE SEND THEM THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO WRITE 30:45 LETTERS, BECAUSE THE SPONSORS ARE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE 30:49 CHILDREN AND THIS IN RETURN, THE SPONSORS WILL RECEIVE LETTERS 30:52 FROM THE CHILD AND THEY WILL RECEIVE APRS, ANNUAL PROGRESS 30:58 REPORTS FROM THE CHILDREN. THERE'S ALSO A GIFT PROGRAM IN 31:01 WHICH THE SPONSORS CAN PURCHASE A GIFFORD TWICE A YEAR TO SEND 31:06 TO THEIR CHILDREN. >> IT ALL GOES THROUGH CHILD 31:13 IMPACT. >> WE USED TO HAVE A SYSTEM 31:15 WHERE YOU COULD SEND A GIFT TO YOUR CHILD BUT THEY WERE JUST 31:19 GOING MISSING. THEY GO MISSING IN THE SYSTEM, 31:30 NOW YOU SEE THE $20, $25, WE MAKE SURE THE CHILD GETS A GIFT 31:35 AND IF YOU WRITE A LETTER, THAT LETTER GOES WITH THE GIFT TO 31:39 THAT SPECIFIC CHILD. YOU CAN ALSO RING US. 31:42 YOU CAN EMAIL US. THERE'S MANY WAYS THAT YOU CAN 31:47 MAKE CONTACT WITH US TO SPONSOR A CHILD. 31:55 SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT A MONTH COMMITMENT AND SAY WHAT CAN DIE. 32:00 WE HAVE AN UNSPONSORRED CHILD FUND. 32:03 MOST OF THE TIME, WE HAVE 300 TO 400 UNSPONSORRED CHILDREN. 32:29 >> IF YOU CAN'T SPONSOR A CHILD, YOU CAN MAKE A DONATION. 32:35 A ONE OFF. >> YOU DON'T HAVE TO REALLY PICK 32:36 A CHILD. YOU MIGHT SAY PUT IT WHERE THE 32:39 NEED IS GREAT. THAT'S GOOD. 32:43 SO NOBODY FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS FINANCIALLY. 32:46 >> ONCE A CHILD'S IN THE PROGRAM, WE SUPPORT THEM WHETHER 32:50 THEY'VE GOT A SPONSOR OR NOT. >> OK. 32:52 >> HOW MANY CHILDREN WOULD YOU SAY YOU HAVE? 32:55 IS IT MORE GIRLS THAN BOYS? >> OH, I HAVEN'T COUNTED THEM 33:03 LATELY. AT THE MOMENT, THERE'S OVER 33:05 3,000, ABOUT 3,400. EACH CHILD, YOU TRAIN THEM FOR 33:16 THE KINGDOM. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. 33:25 SOME WERE BEN FACTORS OF THE ORPHAN AND LATER ON CAME TO WORK 33:29 THERE. >> IN EACH COUNTRY, WE HAVE A 33:33 PARTNER, AND THEY EMPLOYED PEOPLE, AND IN INDIA, OUR 33:39 PARTNER, THEY EMPLOY AT LEAST THREE I'M AWARE OF THAT WERE 33:47 SPONSORED CHILDREN. >> YOU EVER ANOTHER SCHOOL. 33:52 YOU GO FROM BLIND. >> IN THE SOUTH, THE BLIND 33:56 SCHOOL'S IN THE NORTH, THE DEAF SCHOOL IS SOUTH OF HIS BANG 34:11 LORE. IT'S GOT ABOUT A HUNDRED 34:13 CHILDREN. IT'S ANOTHER MISSION SCHOOL. 34:18 ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN SPONSOR A CHILD THERE. 34:22 HERE'S SOME FOOTAGE. THAT'S ME ARRIVING AND MRS. 34:38 MRS. EAGLE WAS WITH ME. IT'S JUST A DELIGHT VISIT THE 34:57 SCHOOL. SOUTH OF BANG LORE ABOUT TWO 35:02 HOURS SOUTH. >> I DON'T THINK WE WENT TO 35:05 THIS. >> NO, YOU DIDN'T GO TO THIS 35:08 ONE. YOU CAN SEE THEM HERE. 35:09 IT'S AMAZING, TOWG A MEETING OR A CHURCH SERVICE WHERE THEY'RE 35:13 SINGING AND THEY SING IN SIGN LANGUAGE. 35:29 IT'S JUST REALLY DIFFERENT. VERY HAPPY KIDS, FROM THE POOR 35:34 VILLAGES. THE PARENTS DON'T KNOW HOW TO 35:36 COPE WITH IT AND THIS GIVES AN OPPORTUNITY. 35:38 >> YOU HAVE A PICTURE THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE BLIND SCHOOL. 35:42 >> THE SCHOOL. HERE'S THE CHILDREN IN FRONT OF 35:45 THE BUILDING, THE MAIN BUILDING, AND THAT GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF 35:51 THE SIZE OF THE SCHOOL, AND WE ALSO HAVE WHICH IS NUMBER FIVE, 36:00 IT'S A LITTLE VIDEO WITH SOUND AND IT'S THE STORY OF THE GIRL 36:06 CALLED PAD MA AND PAD MA AND HER TWO SISTERS CAME TO THE SCHOOL. 36:23 SHE'S A DISLIET. SHE'S GROWING UP. 36:25 IF WE CAN PLAY IT, LET'S LISTEN TO PADMA AND SHE INTRODUCES HER 36:29 FAMILY. >> ALL RIGHT. 37:37 >> WOW, SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE THAT ALL THE CHILDREN THERE. 37:44 NOW, WHEN YOU GO, OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE SIGNING FOR 37:47 YOU. >> YES. 37:47 >> TELL US THAT EXPERIENCE. DO THEY SIGN IN NEW ZEALAND 37:54 LANGUAGE? >> OH, JOHN. 37:56 WAS THAT A JOKE? >> IN KIWI. 37:59 >> THEY SIGN IN KIWI. LOOK, I HAVE TO BE HONEST WITH 38:03 YOU, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN A FAMILY OR HAVEN'T HAD A LOT TO 38:05 DO WITH SIGN LANGUAGE, IT IS TOTALLY FOREIGN, BUT AFTER A 38:11 WHILE, YOU SORT OF GET A SENSE OF IT, AND WE HAVE A PRINCIPAL 38:18 JACOB AND HIS WIFE WHO ARE VERY, VERY COMMITTED, WHO ARE 38:24 QUALIFIED SIGN LANGUAGE TEACHERS AND IT'S LIKE HAVING A 38:28 TRANSLATOR. LIKE TALKING AND THE KIDS 38:34 SIGNING BACK. YOFS ANY KNOWLEDGE OF SIGNING SO 38:39 IT WAS HARD FOR ME. YOU MAY HAVE NOTICE THAT HAD 38:44 PADMA WAS IN A PATH FINDER UNIFORM. 38:48 THEY HAVE A VERY ACTIVE PATH FINDER CLUB. 38:50 THEY GO OFF ON CAMPS, AND JACOB, THE PRINCIPAL DOES AN EXCELLENT 38:55 JOB WITH THE CHILDREN BOTH OBVIOUSLY DURING SCHOOL, IT'S A 39:00 BOARDING SCHOOL, BOTH THE BLIND SCHOOL AND DEAF SCHOOL ARE 39:05 BOARDING SCHOOLS SO THAT KIDS ARE THERE THE WHOLE TIME. 39:08 >> ONE OF THE CHALLENGES YOU HAVE, HOW DO YOU OWE I KNOW 39:12 MOVING TO INDIA AND I KNOW YOU'VE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE, NOT 39:15 ONLY DO THEY HAVE MORE MOPEDS AND MOTORCYCLES THAN ANY COUNTRY 39:22 I'VE BEEN TO, IT SEEMS LIKE THOUSANDS. 39:27 HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT SELECTING A CHILD FOR THE PROGRAM? 39:30 >> THERE'S TWO PARTS IN IT. FIRST OF ALL, WHEN CHOOSING A 39:35 CHILD, WE HAVE A NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND IN EACH COUNTRY, 39:44 WE HAVE A LOCAL PARTNER, IT'S EITHER AN NGO OR DIVISION OF THE 39:50 CHURCH WHO HAS A TEAM OF FIELD OFFICERS WHO DO THEIR BEST TO 39:54 VISIT THE CHILD THREE TIMES A YEAR, AND CHIDE IMPACT LAST 40:00 YEAR, WE HAD TO PUT IN A NEW DATABASE SYSTEM, SO THE FIELD 40:04 OFFICERS ARE PUTTING INFORMATION REGARDING THE CHILD INTO THE 40:10 DATABASE LIVE BY THE INTERNET, SO THE FIELD OFFICERS ARE 40:14 CHECKING THE CHILDREN OR AT THE SCHOOL AND INTERVIEWING THE 40:22 CHILDREN, AND WE'RE TRYING TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY NEEDS AND IF 40:26 THEY'RE NOT THERE, WE WANT TO KNOW WHY AND SO THERE'S A 40:34 CHECKING SYSTEM. >> WE TALKED ABOUT WAYS IN THE 40:37 STORIES WE HEARD AND THEY WERE PRETTY MOVING STORIES. 40:40 ONE OF THOSE WE NEVER FORGOT, YOU TALKED ABOUT WAKING UP IN 40:45 THE MORNING AND FINDING A CHILD CHAINED TO A POLE OUTSIDE A 40:49 SCHOOL AND NO ONE KNEW WHO LEFT THAT CHILD THERE BUT WE FOUND 40:53 OUT THAT SOME FAMILIES WHEN THEY'RE FACED WITH SOME EITHER 40:57 BLIND OR DEAF AND THEY CANNOT PROVIDE, SOME OF THE CHILDREN 41:02 COME TO THE SCHOOLS AND NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THEY CAME FROM. 41:06 THEY JUST BECOME THE IMMEDIATE PROPERTY OF CHILD IMPACT AND 41:09 THEY SIMULATE THEM IN AND IT'S AMAZING TO SEE THE CHANGE IN A 41:12 CHILD'S LIFE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T GO 41:15 THROUGH THE NORMAL CHANNELS BUT IT'S THE HEART OF GOD MOVING 41:18 UPON THIS MINISTRY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THOSE LIVES. 41:23 >> THE MOTHER MAY DIE AND THE FATHER HAS GOT TO WORK ALL DAY 41:28 IN THE FIELDS, AND SO QUITE OFTEN, CHILDREN ARE BROUGHT TO 41:35 AN ORPHANAGE ESPECIALLY CHAINED IN THE GATE. 41:38 YOU THINK WHY ON EARTH IS THIS PARENT DROPPING THE CHILD OFF. 41:46 THEY ARE STRUGGLING. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO COPE. 41:50 THE CIRCUMSTANCE WHEN THIS WAS EARLY ON WHEN I STARTED WITH 41:54 CHILD IMPACT, I WAS AT SUNRISE AND A FEW WEEKS BEFORE, THEY 41:59 CAME OUT AND HERE WAS A GIRL TIED TO THE POLE, AND YOU THINK 42:04 WHO COULD DO THAT. BUT WE HAVE NO COMPREHENSION OF 42:10 THE STRUGGLE THAT THAT FARNT WAS HAVING. 42:12 IT COULD HAVE BEEN THEY HAD NO MONEY TO FEED THE CHILD. 42:18 IT COULD MEAN THE PARENTS DIED AND THE UNCLE WAS RESPONSIBLE 42:21 AND HE COULDN'T COPE, SO IT'S DANGEROUS TO PASS JUDGMENT. 42:25 >> TRUE. >> I'M NOT SAYING THERE AREN'T 42:28 CHILDREN WHO ARE DESERTED, THAT HAPPENS, TOO, AND SO WHEN WE 42:32 TALK ABOUT SUNRISE, I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL FOUND ON 42:38 THE RAILWAY STATION, SO IT'S NOT HARD TO FIND NEED. 42:43 >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING A LITTLE LIGHTHEARTED. 42:47 REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT TO INDIA AND THE CHICKEN. 42:50 >> OH, MAN. >> WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THAT, 42:53 DID WE? WE WENT TO CHURCH. 42:56 YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THAT STORY. >> WE WENT TO, YOU KNOW. 42:58 >> SHARE THAT, MONEY. >> THAT WAS AN AMAZING STORY. 43:02 WE WENT TO CHURCH SABBATH MORNING. 43:04 WE HAD GONE TO A TEMPLE, JOHN IF IT WAS BUDDHIST OR HUNDRED DO 43:10 TEMPLE, THEY TOLD TO US TAKE OUR SHOES OF OFF. 43:15 I SAID WHY? THEY SAID IF YOU TAKE YOUR SHOES 43:19 OFF, FOR THE FALSE GODS, YOU MIGHT TAKE YOUR SHOES OR FOR THE 43:24 TRUE GOD. WELL, THAT CLICKED RIGHT AWAY. 43:32 WE NOTICED DURING THE OFFERING TIME SOMEONE, I DON'T KNOW IF 43:39 YOU'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE, BUT SOMEBODY BROUGHT A CHICKEN UP 43:47 FRONT AND THEY LAID THE CHICKEN ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THAL 43:51 TAR. I WAS THINKING I HOPE THEY'RE 43:53 NOT GOING TO SACRIFICE BUT I COULDN'T HELP BUT ASK. 43:59 I SAID JIM, WHAT IS THAT? HE SAID IT'S AN OFFERING. 44:06 I COULDN'T HELP BUT ASK WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WITH THAT 44:11 CHICKEN. THIS IS DURING THE CHURCH 44:13 SERVICE. HE SAID THEY'RE GOING TO SELL IT 44:15 AND WHATEVER IT SOLD FOR, THE PROCEEDS GO TO THE CHURCH. 44:19 AND I THOUGHT WELL HOW MUCH IS A CHICKEN LIKE THAT WORT? 44:23 I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID. >> LIKE $5. 44:25 >> I SAID OK, IF I GAVE YOU $20 AND TELL US WHAT HAPPENED, JIM. 44:35 >> THEY SAID SOMEBODY'S GOINGS TO KILL HIM AND EAT HIM. 44:38 I SAID IF I GAVE YOU $20 WOULD YOU SPARE HIS LIFE. 44:41 >> WELL, WE TOOK THE CHICKEN BACK TO THE ORPHAN ONLY AND THE 44:46 CHICKEN WAS INTEGRATED INTO ALL THE CHICKENS AT THE ORPHANAGE, 44:52 AND THEY CALLED THAT CHICKEN JOHN. 44:57 AND THE CHICKEN WAS A VERY HAPPY CHICKEN. 45:00 IT LIVED A HEALTHY LIFE, UNTIL A CERTAIN POINT, AND. 45:04 >> I GOT A PHONE CALL LIKE 3:00 IN THE MORNING. 45:11 >> I WAS WHO IS CALLING ME AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING, JIM WAS 45:16 JOHN, WE'VE GOT SOME NEWS FOR YOU. 45:18 >> UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT WAS IT A FOX. 45:20 >> SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> THE KIDS CAME TO ME ALL SAD 45:24 FACED AND SAID OH, MR. CHICKEN JOHN IS GONE, AND I SAID WHAT DO 45:30 YOU MEAN THE CHICKEN IS GONE? WELL, A LOCAL WILD DOG TOOK THE 45:39 CHICKEN. I ACTUALLY WENT TO TOWNS WHERE 46:22 THERE WERE NO MOTOR BIKES. IT'S THAT POOR, AND THERE'S A 46:29 MISSION SCHOOL CALLED KMMS AND HERE'S A VIEW. 46:33 NOW, THIS IS THE BUILDING THAT WE HAVE REPLACED. 46:36 AS YOU CAN SEE IT, IT WAS BUILT OVER 40 YEARS AGO. 46:41 IT WAS VERY POORLY CONSTRUCTED, AND EVEN THOUGH FROM THAT SIDE 46:47 IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD, THERE WAS A LOT OF CONCRETE DROPPING FROM 46:51 THE TOP OF THE BUILDING, AND THERE'S A VIEW FROM THE TOP, AND 46:56 SO THAT BUILDING HAS TO COME DOWN. 47:03 WE COMMITTED TO REBUILDING THAT, AND WE'LL SHOW YOU THE NEW PLAN 47:09 SHORTLY. THIS IS A CRITICAL MISSION 47:12 SCHOOL. IT'S IN A VERY REMOTE AREA UP BY 47:15 THE INDIAN BORDER, AND IT'S A VERY WELL RUN MISSION SCHOOL. 47:21 IT HAS OVER 600 CHILDREN, OF WHICH ABOUT 80 ARE ORPHANS. 47:27 I'M NOT SURE, I THINK WE'VE GOT OVER 100 CHILDREN THERE. 47:32 WE'VE ALSO GOT SOME MORE B ROLL OF THE CHILDREN. 47:37 >> THE KMMS? >> YES. 47:40 >> IS THAT A PICTURE OF THE BUILDING. 47:42 >> YES, SORRY, HERE'S THE NEW BUILDING. 47:45 LET'S JUST LEAVE THAT ON THE SCREEN FOR A MINUTE. 47:48 SO THIS BUILDING IS THE ONE WE'RE DOING THE APPEAL FOR NOW. 47:52 IT CONTAINS CLASSROOMS. IT CONTAINS SCIENCE LABS, 47:57 LIBRARIES, THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING, BUT MORE IMPORTANT AT 48:02 THE FAR END OF THE ROAD, THERE'S A PRESCHOOL AND THAT PRESCHOOL 48:07 WILL HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR THE COLLEGE, AND SO PEOPLE WILL 48:12 BRING THEIR CHILDREN THERE DURING THE DAY. 48:17 THE 3ABN VIEWERS AND THEIR DONORS HAVE SUPPORTED THIS 48:23 PROJECT. WE ORIGINALLY NEEDED $500,000. 48:27 WE JUST NEED 30,000 MORE, SO IF YOU WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HELP TO 48:32 US FINISH THIS PROJECT, THIS IS A REAL NEED AND WE'RE JUST ON 48:38 THE CUSP OF FINISHING THE FUNDRAISING. 48:43 THE BUILDING HAD STARTED, THE PANDEMIC SHUT THE SITE DOWN BUT 48:47 IT WILL BE OPENING SHORTLY. IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE, IT'S 48:51 THE BANGLADESH BUILDING FUND, IF YOU COULD HELP US WITH ANY 48:57 FURTHER HELP, WE'RE JUST $30,000 OF THE 550,000 TO GO, AND THIS 49:03 WILL HAVE A DRAMATIC IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THESE CHILDREN. 49:09 WE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW POOR IT IS, AND ON THE FILMING TRIP, I'M 49:18 SURE YOUR VIEWERS HAVE BEEN WATCHING HOPE IN MOTION. 49:21 >> LOVE THAT PROGRAM. >> WE GOT OUT AND MET THE 49:24 PARENTS, AND THE SOLO PARENTS AND NOT ONLY DO THEY WANT THEIR 49:29 CHILD TO HAVE AN EDUCATION, BUT I HAD NO COMPREHENSION OF 49:33 POVERTY AND WE MET WITH A SOLO MOM. 49:39 >> WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOLO MOM? >> THERE'S NO HUSBAND. 49:42 >> OH, SINGLE MOM. >> SINGLE MOM. 49:45 SHE WORKS IN THE FEEDS AND SHE WANTS HER CHILDREN TO HAVE AN 49:50 EDUCATION, BUT SHE ALSO WANTS THEM TO BE FED. 49:53 >> WE DO HAVE A PICTURE OF SOLO MOM. 49:55 >> THERE SHE IS. >> I MET THIS LOVELY LADY. 49:59 IT TOOK US TWO HOURS TO GET TO, INC. LADY WITH THE TWO CHILDREN 50:02 AT THE SCHOOL, AND THEY CAN'T AFFORDING TO HOME FOR THE 50:08 HOLIDAYS, BECAUSE SHE CAN'T AFFORD THE BUS FARE AND SHE WAS 50:13 JUST SO APPRECIATIVE, BUT SHE STRUGGLES, AND SO THE CHILDREN 50:21 IN THIS AREA COME FROM VERY GENUINELY POOR NEEDY AND NOW 50:26 WITH THE VIRUS, THESE FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING. 50:29 THERE IS NO FOOD, AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LOCKED DOWN BUT WE CAN 50:37 STILL GO TO THE DRIVE THROUGH. THERE IS NO DRIVE THROUGH HERE. 50:41 >> THE RESTAURANTS, WE KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE AND RIGHT NOW, WHEN 50:45 WE'RE HOPING THINGS OPEN UP MORE, A LOT OF THINGS ARE GOING 50:48 TO BE CLOSING DOWN AGAIN BUT WHAT YOU'RE MAKING A POINT OF, 50:52 WHEN THE DOOR CLOSES, THAT'S IT, THERE IS NO SECTION OPTION OF 50:56 DRIVING THROUGH. >> RICE AND HEALTH APPEAL IN 50:59 BANGLADESH WILL BE A KEY PART OF NOT ONLY HELPING THESE CHILDREN 51:03 NOW, OUR SPONSORED CHILDREN, BUT WHEN THEY COME BACK TO SCHOOL, 51:08 WE WILL ENSURE THAT THE SCHOOLS HAVE RICE AND THAT THEY HAVE 51:12 SUPPLIES SO THAT THESE KIDS ARE FED. 51:15 >> SO THE KMMS, WAS THAT THE BUILDING WE JUST SO YOU? 51:18 >> YES. >> IT'S ONLY $30,000 AWAY FROM 51:21 BEING FULLY FUNDED. >> IF THE PERSONS THAT ARE 51:24 LISTENING TO THIS PROGRAM, WHEN YOU THINK OF 30,000, THAT MEANS 51:30 470,000 ALREADY IN PLACE TO DO THAT PROJECT. 51:32 WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVING THE ADDRESS AT THE END OF THE 51:34 PROGRAM TODAY ON HOW YOU CAN SPONSOR THE PROGRAM. 51:37 I KNOW WHAT YOU'VE SEEN SO FAR IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. 51:42 SOMETIMES VOLUNTEERS MAY WANT TO GO DOWN AND SAY WELL, I'D LIKE 51:45 TO GO TO BANGLADESH, BANGLORE. WE THOUGHT WE KNEW WHAT POVERTY 51:56 WAS. >> OH, THE CHILDREN IN THE 51:58 STREET, THEY'RE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> LAMB YEAR, SO SHE, YOU KNOW, 53:53 THEY'RE REALLY YOUNG. SOME OF THEM COME IN WITH 53:56 CHILDREN, EVEN, CHILDREN THAT THEY'VE HAD DURING THEIR TIME 54:00 AND THEY WERE ABDUCTED AND BEING TRAFFICKED, SO IT'S A WONDERFUL 54:05 CHRISTIAN HOME BECAUSE THEY ALL COME FROM THE SAME BACKGROUND 54:10 AND HAVE LIKE A LADY THAT TAKES CARE OF THEM AND HELPS THEM WITH 54:14 SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES, HELPS THEM, YOU KNOW, LEARN ABOUT CHRIST AND 54:19 LEARN TO FOR GIVE THEMSELVES AND LEARN VALUABLE SKILLS FOR AFTER 54:28 THEY LEAVE THE HOME. IT'S A PLACE FOR THEM TO FEEL 54:31 SAFE AND REHABILITATE AND GET ON WITH LIFE AFTER THEY LEAVE THE 54:38 HOME. >> THE SECOND HALF OF THE 54:40 PROGRAM, WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THAT, SHOW SOME OF THE 54:45 PEOPLE THAT TALK ABOUT THAT AND BRING OUT SOME VERY INTERESTING 54:51 COMPONENTS HOW IT WORKS SPECIFICALLY. 54:56 >> IF WE JUST PULL UP PICTURE NUMBER 13, JUST SIMPLY THE 55:05 OPERATION CHILDRESS SKEW LOGO, SO WHEN YOU SEE THIS LOGO, THIS 55:11 IS THE PROGRAM THAT WE WANT TO BUILD TRAFFICKING AS A, IT'S 55:16 HARD TO COMPREHEND, EVEN HERE IN AMERICA, IT WAS HARD TO COM HE 55:21 PRETEND, AND WE HAVE NOW HEARD AND SEEN SO MANY STORIES OF THE 55:28 TRICK THAT IS PEOPLE GO TO, FOR INSTANCE, AT THAT KMMS IN 55:35 BANGLADESH, THERE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES 55:42 WHO SAW AN AD ON FACEBOOK TO BE A BOUGHT A IS. 55:51 SHE WENT TO A TOWN TO BE A BEAUTICIAN AND WHEN SHE ARRIVED, 55:55 SHE WAS PUT IN A TRUCK AND TRANSPORTED THOUSANDS OF MILES 56:01 TO BANGLORE AND PUT IN A BROTHEL. 56:05 FORTUNATELY, SHE WAS A FIGHTER, AND SHE CAUSED A NOISE AND A 56:09 DISTURBANCE, AND THE POLICE CAME AND GOT HER, AND TO CUT A LONG 56:15 STORY SHORT, SHE TOLD THEM WHO SHE WAS AND ANITA WAS ABLE TO GO 56:23 RESCUE HER AND TRANSPORT HER ALL THE WAY BACK TO BANGLADESH. 56:30 THAT'S ONE OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GIRLS THIS IS 56:33 HAPPENING TO. WE WALKED THROUGH A SCHOOL WHERE 57:06 NOT MANY PEOPLE WERE WELCOME. >> THAT'S WHERE WE'VE GOT A SLUM 57:15 SCHOOL, AND AT THAT SCHOOL, AS YOU SAID, THE COMMUNITY VERY 57:28 WELCOMING FOR US. >> IF YOU'RE JUST JOINING US, 57:32 DON'T GO AWAY, WE HAVE A SECOND HALF OF THE PROGRAM, CHILD 57:36 IMPACT INTERNATIONAL IS IMPACTING THE WORLD IN SO MANY 57:39 WAYS.
