Wahoo!! We have had 2 ppl travel in the last couple of weeks to Burkina and I have tons of pictures to share. Margie spent a ton of time on ground and was totally overtaken with the plight of the ppl. I am hoping once things settle down at her house she will send us an update (she brought home 2 kids from Ghana). The other friend was Dan from Kids to Adopt who spent 5 days incountry visiting and meeting with all the officals to get adoptions rolling. He was well rec'd and all their paperwork has been turned in. They are hoping to have their offical paperwork from Burkina blessing them to start adoptions this week! They are very excited about the Burkina program and were well rec'd by all the officals there. You can contact them for more info at: info@kidstoadopt.org. Dan visited several private and public orphanages and said the care and orphanages were incredibly nice and the children very happy and well taken care of. The pictures of some of the kids here are from the public orphanage and are not available for adoption unless you follow the proper country procedures meanging you have to have your dossier in before referral and referrals are handed out by Children Welfare so the children in the pictures are for representation only.
Ok, I am going to post lots of pictures of the orphanage (first 7 pictures) and also the ppl. We supplied Biba with some money in which she fed 150 kids! Sardines, bread and juice. I guess it was an incredible experience. So enjoy the pictures. We have started a private group on yahoo for ppl who are actively volunteering. If you would like to help us with our AFrican project pls let me know @ ann@untilallhavehomes.org. We have plenty of areas in which you could help!
We also have most of the school sponsorship kids (kids that still need sponsors) up and running on our site. You can link to it from our UAHH homepage. We were very blessed to have 31 of our last year sponsorship families sponsor again this year. We also have plenty of tees left if anyone is interested. Pls check below for available sizes and how to order!
