Gran's Indian mercy mission
A Greenock grandmother is transforming the lives of abandoned babies and girls forced into prostitution in India.Jennifer Gallagher, 61, spent three months visiting impoverished villages in the province of Andhra Pradesh with ministers in the Sylom [sic] Project.
She became a volunteer after being touched by the plight of girls in the area around Kakinada who are cared for in orphanages because they are seen as a burden on their families.
Jennifer, who is a member of St John's Scottish Episcopal Church in Greenock, has been raising funds to help educate the girls and teach sewing to young women.
