“A Light in the Dark” by Tate Rathje
June 03, 2010
Coming back from India and the kids of the Asha Deep Foundation there are many memories that come to mind. However, there is one that sticks out for me more clearly then most. That is the memory of seeing such genuinely happy and grateful people in the most dire of circumstances. The opportunities and the community that the Asha Deep Foundation has given the children at the orphanage is so amazing. Their smiles I will never forget. It all hit me the longer we where able to be there and see the contrast between life inside of the Asha Deep walls and the lives of those out side of it. It is truly a day and night experience, something I have come to feel very honored to have played a small part of. The ADF family has created something truly beautiful in the midst of great poverty and desperation. A hope and light in the midst of great darkness.
All of this would not have been possible without the support and guidance of the Caleb Hope Foundation. Kudos to Jeremiah Caleb for starting this great work and thank you brother for inviting us along to join you in this adventure of a life time. The things we have experienced on this trip will forever be apart of us. The poverty, the people, their smiles, songs, and dances are things that you don’t just forget. So with that said, thank you CHF for an opportunity and experience that I will never forget.
