Suborno is back! He left the HOL about 7 months ago and said he wanted to go back to his village, he was fed up with our rules and boring school. At that time we pleaded with him to stay. We tried to explain what a foolish thing it was to stop his education, but he would not listen to us, nor his relatives or the HOL older boys; in fact no one could get through to him. After just a couple of days after his departure though, we received phone calls from his relatives saying that Suborno had made a mistake and wanted to come back. But, we knew right away that it was not Suborno, who had a change of heart but his relatives who wanted what was best for him. So, we said, "No, he cannot come back right now, he made this bad decision and now he needs to stick it out a while".
We told them to contact us again in the new year, when the Bengali school year starts and then we would make a decision.
Hurrah, Suborno recently did contact us and promised that he had changed and would try his best in school. We felt like he was sincere, and so the prodigal son has returned. Presently he is on a 3 month type of probation and then we will make the final decision if he has really changed or not. But for now, we rejoice. Thank you for those who prayed. In the above picture is a relative who brought him back.
Welcome back, Suborno, we missed you.
