Rosie and Anand Thandu, co-founders of Children of Faith recently attended the Wedding of a COF graduate, Anil. The bride, Sharoni, is a cousin of Anil’s good friend, Prasad, from Children of Faith. It was a very special day, attended by many COF Alumni. Anand offered a special prayer as part of the Wedding Ceremony and Rosie’s brother, Vincent sang.




It was a joy to attend the Wedding of Anil and Sharona. We have known Anil from the time he was a little boy. It meant so much to be part of this special event in his life. He has always been a happy boy, and a hard worker.

Anil is not the first of the COF graduates to get married, read these stories about Kusma’s Wedding and Shanthi and Niamusha’s Weddings. We’re proud that our students are growing up, getting married, securing good jobs and beginning families of their own. The values they’ve learned at Children of Faith are guiding them to be productive, caring, contributing adults in their communities.

We’re proud parents
We’re proud parents as we watch our graduates begin their own lives. This wouldn’t be possible without your support. The care, education children learn at Children of Faith and the Values they learn have transformed the lives of vulnerable young people. They young adults are now making a difference in their communities. Please help us continue this work for 120 children in our care, so they can go on to lead meaningful productive lives.
