Inhale loved being involved with DFN. Imam a teacher in the USA and have spent the last four summers in India. I have been able to meet one of my sponsor children and have blessed to visit her home and family on many occasions. I have loved traveling around, visiting teachers, and working together. My life has been enriched, I can't wait to go back!

I have worked for the Dalit Freedom Network for a few years as a volunteer. I was very frustrated with the fact that the organization had no ideas to share on how I could help the Dalit situation from my home in the US. Every event I had planned and I had to come up with my own ideas. Then I was asked to share these ideas with them and they then became their ideas. I received NO credit for my creative ideas and no recognition at the conference. Although my intentions for volunteering was not for recognition, I feel every volunteer needs some kind of recognition for their efforts. At the conference we learned only what some of the staff was responsible for. We did not get to hear what the other volunteers were doing to raise support. We all gave our ideas on paper. We were promised a copy, which we never received. I love what DFN represents but I hate the fact the staff seems too self involved and forget that they are there for the good of the Dalits. We spent a lot of money for the conference and NO ONE at DFN followed through with anything they promised to help us become more involved. I now work independently for the betterment of the Dalits.

I was able to see the fruit of this ministry for myself and was very impressed and encouraged. After my visit our church formalized a partnership with DFN to fuel their work of serving the Dalits.

In the DFN, Health Initiative is run by the OMIF and I had a time to visit the work in the nearby slums in Hyderabad, (A.P) India. I could see the work that many people had come for medical treatment. The people who came are dalits and are daily wage workers who get about 50 to a dollar for their hard work.Their low wages deprive them to good and proper health care. So this is where the Health Initiative Department steps in as a facilitator so they can be health once again.

We have been working in OM India many years ago and kept contact all these years, also by several visits. After attending a conference at OM base in Hyderabad in 2005 we were impressed by the opportunities there are to help Dalit communities and the commitment of Indian friends to start 100 schools for Dalit children. We returned to Sweden and started sponsorship program for Dalit children. We have now 110 children fully sponsored. The advocacy program of DFN is also of much importance and this autumn we are part of starting Dalit Freedom Network Sweden for advocay, information and support.

For several years, we have supported a young Dalit girl. DFN has kept us informed on her progress and the progress of their ministry. We often receive letters from this precious girl and are able to write to her also. DFN has allowed us to impact a life for Christ that we otherwise would have been unable to do. I appreciate this ministry's approach to providing for the whole person. Not only do they share Christ's love, but they are also His hands. DFN provides an education which will equip these children to better their lives and the lives of their families. I am very privileged to be allowed to be a part of this work.

Tell your story here and help others understand this charity This organization has a wonderful plan to educate and train not only children, but also women. Many of these women are learning English, computer skills and sewing skills. It is great organization with a great vision to end the plight of these "untouchables".

I'm part of 3 international impact teams. The needs these dalit kids have is 2nd to none I've seen anywhere in the world. What this organization is doing is great. One reason is because there are very few resources to help these kids in India. When you see kids with literally nothing, having gone through unspeakable hardships & they're still smiling, it's a real blessing.

As a participant in two trips to India through DFN I cannot fully explain the magnitude of the work these people do. The oppression in India is beyond anything we in America could even imagine, but the joy and beauty displayed by the Dalits will change your life forever.
