Well, not too much to report. We are STILL waiting on the electric people to come and turn on the electricity. They are saying next week. We need that little step done before we can do the rest! The cribs are being handmade to our specifications. I will post a picture soon. They look extremely nice. Biba wanted a SAFE and sturdy crib for the children.
Todays little cutie (and no he is NOT available for adoption and has a wonderful Christian family) is a little boy who is coming on a medical visa soon. Shriners in KY has offered to make him 2 little legs!! Isn't that exciting. He will be coming soon as we have a board member traveling in the next month to visit Burkina and bring him back.
When Maggie travels she will be taking some donations we are working on. Little thing! I am going to post a list here and if you would like to give please feel free. You can mail the items to Until All Have Homes, 1424 Madison Ave, Piqua, OH 45356. Our orphanage will only house 10 to 15 children so please keep that in mind when sending. If you would kindly email me what you are sending so I can keep track and update the list as we get things in. These would fun little things to do as a Sunday school class or even a school class or preschool project.
We are needing:
Clean and in excellent used condition summer and lightweight clothes for 3 months to 5 years old (boys and girls.)
Infant, children and adult (we will pass these out to our staff for their families) vitamins and also iron drops for infants.
Motrin/Tylenol in infant, Jr and adult (same as above)
Small toys for babies and younger children, Please no Mc Donalds toys or stuff animals.
A couple of small CD players with children CD's.
Books appropriate for young children.
That is about all for this week. We are working on getting tees made and will be using them as a fundraiser. Are idea was to approach schools and youth groups and ask them to sell 50 to 100. Heather is busy working on the design, they are going to be awesome.
Once last thing and I am done! We have started a yahoo group for people interesting in learning with us about adoptions in Burkina. If you are interested please use this link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fieldsofgraceafrica/?yguid=109039923
Thanks!
