Last week we had the incredible privilege of meeting Sita. Not only did we share a birthday breakfast for her brother Sanjay in her home, but then we had the chance to tour the school that they run for kids from 3 years old all the way through high school.
Jeff and I were so impressed with this brother-sister team and all of the amazing work they are doing. Sita started this school with six children meeting under a tree. There are hundreds of kids filling every square foot of the school building, and she has plans and permits underway to expand.
Not only that, but Sita has started at least two churches. She told me that she has a tradition of spending each birthday with a group of lepers that live nearby. I know I don't remember all of the details exactly, but the gist of it is that one of the lepers ended up donating property that she was able to use to build either this school or one of her churches.
The longer we talked, the more I was blown away by the impact she has had and continues to have on the world around her. She is such an inspiration to me and I will definitely be keeping up with her. I love having a glimpse into the work God is doing here!
