Welcome Sunita!
As reported on the front page due to wonderfull support from the USA Rescue Junction doors have remained open and will remain open until the end of the year. It is hoped that support will continue in the future from our supporting organisations in the USA and elsewhere, so this vitally important centre can continue to provide its much needed services to the most vulnerable of children.
This liitle girl was found wandering lost and alone and seperated from her family by the Government Railway Police and like all missing children found in Gaya District was brought to Rescue Junction. Seen here bieng reunited with her parents after counselling and the location of her family by the staff at Gaya Rescue Project, it really is amazing that there is no other facility in the entire district, or the whole of South Bihar for that matter,for such children. We invite Railway Children and other organisations to please consider visiting this project. Without Rescue Junction the risk of these children being kidnapped , becoming street children or simply disappearing is very great indeed. Whilst rescuing missing children is a vital part of the role of the project, it also provides a night shelter, vocational training .food, education support and legal advice to street and railway children. In addition it works closely with the local government childrens jail in the fields of child rights and juvenile justice.
