Text from this PhotoShow:

Many months after the Asian tsunami, there are still thousands of children and families struggling to make ends meet.
Yoga Luxmi, 33, lost her successful sewing business. She used to employ several other seamstresses, but now she can't even meet the needs of her own family.
Yoga, who came to faith in Christ a few months ago, is using this ancient Singer to do some limited sewing, but it is still not enough to provide for her family's needs.
Her daughter, Kirshanthi, 5, attends the GFA Bridge of Hope center next to the refugee camp where they live.
As their parents struggle for life's basic necessities, children like these find both joy and nourishment at their Bridge of Hope center.
In addition to telling them about Jesus, GFA World is providing the children with a complete meal every day.
For most of the children, their meal at the Bridge of Hope center may be the only real nutrition they receive.
With new hope for the future, these boys are able to share a laugh. And Dinushan, the boy on the drums, hopes to become a pastor some day.
GFA's Bridge of Hope centers are making an eternal difference in the lives of many children and their families, bringing them comfort, hope, peace, joy and the promise of eternal life.
