Asian Aid is providing a home for up to 150 children who would often be forced to work, left alone with grandparents, abandoned, or left to die.

This new location will give these children hope, practical training, and also support the local area with agricultural instruction and resources.

Ron and Dorothy Watts went to India and spent 27 years there as missionaries. As a child, Dorothy had dreamed of being a mother, a missionary, a teacher, and an author. All her dreams came true, although not in the ways she had imagined. Dorothy and Ron had no children of their own, so they cared for other children and adopted three of them.

But so many needed care that she founded Sunshine Orphanage in 1979 for orphan and destitute children. It began in their home at Coles Road, Bangalore, with one baby that nobody wanted. With every drop of milk that Dorothy fed that baby, she prayed and willed it to live.

God heard her prayer. Soon children began to come and the family grew. The Watts' home was filled to capacity. The big house next door was rented and became home until 1987 when the children moved to the 11-acre property at Kalkere, Bangalore where the present Sunshine Children's Home & School is located.

The current home only accommodates 50 children and is in need of repair. The new home which will accommodate another 100 orphans will be located on the same property.
