Nadeen lives
in Sri Lanka. War comes. Her dad goes away. Her mum decides to find
work in another country. Her mum has to leave Sri Lanka. |
|
Nadeen’s
mum takes her to Jeevanie Children’s home. Sister Jacintha and the
other girls welcome her. Nadeen does not want to be there. She is
sad.

Nadeen
hides in her bed. The other girls belong to Mission Together. They
have circle time. They pray that Nadeen will have peace in her
heart.
|
|
The
girls leave for school. Nadeen would not go with them. When the
girls return they have a dancing lesson. Nadeen hears the music. |

Slowly,
slowly, Nadeen peeps out from the dormitory. Slowly, slowly, she
follows the sound of the music. Slowly, slowly, she joins in the
dance. |
|
Nadeen
loves dance and music. She learns to play the big horn. Now she
leads the band when the girls have special Mission Together
celebrations. |

In Sri Lanka
'pahana' is the
word for a
prayer lamp
