Freedom Firm

Two score years ago two families lived together in a communal set up. Young. Idealistic. Jesus-smitten. People-loving. Radical in praxis.

The crumbling flat they shared for a season in a seedy part of South Bombay saw its share of tears and hilarious laughter. Dave and Kathy Hicks - and Ray and Christa Eicher (my then early 30-year-old parents) built a friendship that has stood the wear and tear of 40 years. Their children's lives have intersected with ours at various levels

The little girl who I am told was one day discovered (along with yours truly) trying to give a kitten a bath has followed the restless ideals-bashed-into-reality path of her parents. She married a lawyer whose parents were also part of the same youth movement. Greg and Mala Malstead have thrown themselves into making a real difference in combatting the henious traffiking of young girls into sexual slavery.

Here is a moving glimpse into what Freedom Firm is doing. Hats off to these heroes - and their many coworkers who are doing some remarkable work.
