About Manish Tanu Bhil
Manish Tanu Bhil came to the Mercy Home from an extremely remote tribal community where she lived in a jungle with her parents, one brother, and three sisters. The tribe owns some land where they live and grow some crops. These people are very strong Christians and they focus on righteous living. When they became believers, they were forced out from their region, so they moved together out in a jungle. They have built their own church – a special big room adjoining the home of their leader. They live in extreme simplicity but have a strong faith in Jesus Christ. They don’t have electricity in their homes and live in great poverty. The closest water source is three kilometers away. They cook their meals on an open fire of wood and cow dunk patties. The tribe members never went to school. However, now they realize that school would give their children a much better future. Last year they came to us requesting that we do something for their children’s education and guide their children to a way of dignity, hope, and a future.
Nirmala is happy to be part of the Mercy Home family where she can get a good education and live in safety. Manish wants to be a social worker and help the tribal and illiterate people. Nirmala likes to dance, sing, and play carom with her new friends. Her favorite foods are chicken and mutton.
Thank you for helping provide Hope, Dignity and a Future to Manish!
