Let us light the world Bihar born English writer George Orwell said, “War is peace.

Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength”. Sadly though, this has been the reality of Bihar for many many years. Discrimination and oppression of people based on castes have caused caste induced conflicts. Fuelling this fire further is unemployment. Unemployed youths thrust with guns has promoted Naxalism. Adding to these, the widespread illiteracy has long kept people in ignorance, devoid of knowledge and truth.

When people oppress people; when people stumble in darkness, history shows that God raises His stalwarts. Loyal to God’s purpose & committed to His cause a young man Augustine Jebakumar came to Bihar in 1972. So began the founding of Gospel Echoing Missionary Society, GEMS. Empathizing with the condition of people, to eradicate the darkness of ignorance & illiteracy, educational initiatives were started.

Children, who would otherwise be breaking stones or taking care of their little siblings, could now go to school and begin building their lives.

Making the educated employable is indispensable and GEMS finds ways in doing so through its ITI’s, Polytechnic, College of Education and so on.

When girls become unwanted and considered a burden by parents, it is essential that they are equipped with employable skills.

GEMS, through its School of Nursing, ITI for Girls & Tailoring Training Centres prepares girls to face their future with confidence.

Severely shunned are those children born with physical challenges. Providing opportunities for them to grow, learn & become self-sustaining individuals is the service of GEMS polio rehabilitation centres. Pramod Kumar now walks in two legs, thanks to the polio 10

corrective surgeries. Having educated through GEMS Day Care Center & computer trained at GEMS Institute of Future Technology, he now runs his own Computer Education Center & provides training to many students.

Thrown away babies left to the fury of nature & animals are taken care by GEMS Homes. When poverty provokes people to push away their own children, how could we not be concerned? So GEMS started adopting whole of such poverty stricken villages for total transformation under its Operation Upliftment of Rural (OUR) People Project, providing livelihood options & decent living.

Musahars are one such community who are abhorred by the society for their traditional occupation as rat catchers. Highly marginalized they are primarily bonded agricultural labourers and children work as rag pickers and are malnourished. Hundreds & hundreds of Musahar communities are spread throughout Bihar and GEMS is involved in transforming them through its Social Action Centres.

What if their occupation is a curse that robs their and their next generation’s self esteem? Bound by this generational curse are the widespread communities of commercial sex workers. GEMS Rahab Project combating against this evil tries to liberate the younger generation.

“I am 13 years old. I like going to school, but I don’t like going for dances. My mother and sister force me to go for dances every Saturday along with a group. I was taken to Bengal once. It was not a good place.

I didn’t want to be there. Small kids like me are involved in the wrong kind of work in my village. I don’t like going to my home.” And I told God “Please save me from this hell”.

This is the cry that you and I are called to reply. There is a war to wage, a freedom to deliver and ignorant people to be saved and strengthened. Come let us light the world.
