Happy birthday Bekind Boys' Home!
Shane Flanagan • 16 January 2021
Today we celebrated the 9th birthday of the Bekind
Boys' Home. The Bekind Boys had spent the last 2 weeks rehearsing and preparing decorations for the birthday celebrations.
This morning the Bekind
Boys were joined on Zoom by children from Hope's protection homes, representatives from Bekind and Hope and a host of former volunteers and supporters. All those who were able to join us were treated to a wonderful programme of poetry, singing, and dancing from the Bekind
Boys. All of this was followed by a cake cutting to round off the festivities. Here are some pictures from the Zoom call. .

Happy birthday Bekind Boys' Home
The saying “ absence makes the heart grow fonder ” has been uppermost in my mind over the past months. My regular Zoom or WhatsApp calls with the children in Kolkata are a help but almost two years have passed since being with them in person. I am amused by the deeper voices of some of the children as they enter their teenage years. The voices and the bodies change and a request for six new bunk beds was a reminder of how much the boys are growing. A very generous donation from a local person came just at the right time to cover the costs.
