A look at the finances of stopping conversions
1. Evangelical budget = $100 bil / year
2. Assuming 1% counter-charity will cost $1 billion a year
India has 500,000 villages, which means $2000 per village
per year for counter-measures
Each NRI must adopt 1 village
The ekal vidyalaya program is actually more frugal
It runs a village for $350 per year, meaning we can cover all 1 lakh tribal villages at $35 mil a year
As far as medical care goes,
I like the IDRF scheme of mobile medical van
90% of all illnesses can be taken care of by a mobile medical van
$11000 is the cost of a mobile medical van
and you can cover 20 villages with this
Ask your folks not to drop money into Indian temple hundis
The money is stolen by govt and given to madrasas
