That equates to 5000 rupees for each child and the land is unusable due to the proximity to the incident where Christians, especially his family are now suffering extreme animosity and prejudice. &nbsp;5000 rupees were also given to the uncle &nbsp;who cares for the eldest child. We are writing to the High Commissioner of Pakistan to advise on whether the full promised compensation will be provided to the family and when. &nbsp;It may well be delayed due to the impending custody battle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_22\">Suleman<\/span> has begun going to school and the Mr <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_23\">Masih<\/span> would also like to send the eldest daughter <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_24\">Sonia<\/span> (<span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_25\">4years<\/span>) to school now. The cost of schooling for such a long period will be &pound;90 per month for the two children including a pick and drop vehicle service. Children have to travel much further distances than UK children to get to school and the risk of kidnap, especially of girls is extremely high. &nbsp;The <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_26\">BPCA<\/span> have agreed to cover the costs of continuing such care for 6 months. &nbsp;Anything longer then this will require further donations on long term commitments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is struggling to teach or control the children at home and I feel there is a lack of intimacy with the children. &nbsp;He suggested the hiring of a permanent nanny the cost of which would be &pound;250 per month. &nbsp;These costs are well above the means of the <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_27\">BPCA<\/span> currently and again, we have to refer this back to our donors. &nbsp;If you feel you can help we will need long term commitments.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_28\">Mehwish<\/span> spent the day with the children preparing a healthy cereal meal for them, drawing and writing and just sharing time with them. &nbsp;She shared bible stories with them and prayed with the children and the maternal grandfather. &nbsp;The children did not know many bible stories and <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_29\">Mehwish<\/span> left some children&#8217;s christian books. &nbsp;They all baked cakes together and the children loved the interaction, it seemed liked they craved it. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_30\">Suleman<\/span> is aware of the death of his parents as he saw the full attack. &nbsp;4 year old <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_31\">Sonia<\/span> understands her parents are no longer with her, she misses them and remembers people shouting at them and hitting her parents. &nbsp;Sadly <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_32\">sonia<\/span> saw her parents being roasted alive as she was also picked up to be burnt with them, however the mob released her after a consensus refused to burn a child. &nbsp;<span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_33\">Poonam<\/span> survived being thrown to the ground by the men who first grabbed the couple, after breaking into the room they were imprisoned in. &nbsp;It is hard to tell what she remembers, however, it is believed her recollection of events will be limited due to her young years and distance from the final moments of her parents, as she was rapidly taken to safety by relatives, before the burning of her parents. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Mukhtar Masih informs us he will be meeting with the Deputy Commissioner of the local&nbsp;police&nbsp;authority next week. &nbsp;He advises us that all 75 men arrested in the aftermath of the killing are still incarcerated, despite monthly attempts at obtaining bail. &nbsp;He feels confident that justice will be done, considering the genuine attempts by police officers to see through justice and court resilience to bail applications.<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_34\">Mehwish<\/span> had to rush of later in the evening to <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_35\">organise<\/span> an interview between <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_36\">Ashiq<\/span> <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_37\">Masih<\/span> the husband of Asia <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_38\">Bibi<\/span> and the Church Times Newspaper in the UK. &nbsp;She described the pain of leaving the children behind, she said;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0070c0;\">&#8220;The children were clinging to me they were obviously bereft of a mother figure and it was a very emotional departure, as they were crying for me to stay. &nbsp;I hope something is done to resolve this gap in their emotional and spiritual needs.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\nThe <span class=\"RadEWrongWord\" id=\"RadESpellError_39\">BPCA<\/span> has no opinion on who the children would be best to remain with. &nbsp;We only seek to find solutions to improve their quality of life whoever their eventual custodians are. We feel we would serve the children best by providing the ongoing costs towards schooling and the live in nanny, however, this can only be done through a few more commitments from long term benefactors, &nbsp;We are retaining a fund that can be drawn on during the life of these children till adulthood. It is not huge but then again our levels of donations are limited, any which way we will remain involved the development of the children of Pakistan&#8217;s most famous &nbsp;Christian martyrs. &nbsp;If you would like to be a part of that process then please help us to help these three children by donating to our permanent benevolent fund.<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;
