It seems like Christmas arrives just a little earlier every year, so we thought we’d jump right in! If you’ve seen MOTHER INDIA, you know that we have a special relationship with Harvest India, who has rescued over 1,500 orphaned and abandoned children in southern India. When many of us think about Christmas, we instantly think about toys and stocking stuffers, but those types of gifts aren’t commonplace in India – especially in a children’s home. What they truly need is a new set of clothing to enjoy and be proud of.
For just $20 per child, you can provide a new outfit and special Christmas meal to an entire children’s home (approximately $500).
GIVE ONE or MORE ORPHANS A GIFT
1. Choose the # of orphans you would like to give the gift of a new outfit this Christmas ($20 per child).
2. CLICK HERE to make a donation now.
OR, GIVE AN ENTIRE HOME GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS
1. Rally your office, church, small group, or family to pitch in or raise the money in a creative way.
2. Contact Harvest India (anita@harvestindia.org) to let them know that you want to adopt a specific children’s home for Christmas.
3. Donate the amount via credit card or send one check to: Harvest India USA, PO Box 10186, Costa Mesa, CA 92627
4. Harvest India will send you a digital photo of all the children holding their gifts, and you can pass it around to everyone who donated.
How cool is that? Don’t procrastinate – get started NOW!

“AWAKEN My Life”
BUY at Amazon.com
Through a raw, heartfelt essay and over 200 full color images by David Trotter captured along the back roads of rural India, AWAKEN My Life calls out to hearts deadened by the continual pursuit of “more.” Having bought into the promise of satisfaction which forever dangles like a carrot, hearts hunger and thirst for a rich and meaningful life. Perhaps your heart… Are you open to see the world in a new way? Are you ready to be awakened? May you be awakened to the needs around the world (and even in your own neighborhood). May you allow the One who created you to set a new rhythm for your heart and your life. (Proceeds from the sale of this book fund the ongoing mission of MOTHER INDIA.)

We’re excited to announce that
MOTHER INDIA has accepted an offer by
Word Films (A Warner/Curb Company) to distribute the documentary nationwide.
After coming across the film on Facebook a couple of months ago, a representative from Word contacted us to receive a copy of the DVD to preview. Within a few days, they expressed interest in helping us get the film into bookstores, Amazon, iTunes, and Netflix.
After researching the process and what would be in the best interest of the vision behind MOTHER INDIA, we came to an agreement with Word and look forward to working with them. They are excited about helping us spread the message of the film.
We will keep you up to date on the process as we prepare for a nationwide launch, and we’ll definitely need your help in spreading the word!

We are excited to announce that MOTHER INDIA was awarded “Best Short Documentary” at the 2012 San Diego Christian Film Festival – held November 9-11, 2012 at the Birch North Park Theatre. David and his family had the opportunity to view the screening of the documentary on Saturday, and he was present to receive the beautiful award on Sunday evening.
Film festivals are one of the strategic opportunities that we have to share the message of 31 million orphans in India. To this point, we have entered the film in over 20 different film festivals by submitting the full-length documentary and the festival’s entry fee ($50-100). Although many films submit to each festival, it is a great honor to be an “official selection” – and an even greater honor to win a category. (If you’d like to make a tax-deductible donation to help us spread the message of the film, click here to donate.)
Thank you to the San Diego Christian Film Festival for the honor of sharing the message of 31 million Indian orphans with those in attendance!
