Hello Everyone! If this is your first time here, please make sure you scroll on the way thru some of the more recent posts to see some pictures of our projects in Burkina.
Todays princess is "Wendy Grace" who we hope is coming on a medical visa soon! One of our recent visitors saw her in an orphanage and FELL in LOVE with her! Since they have gotten back we have several ppl working on securing her care in the USA. Things are coming together fast and she should be here soon. They are also working on helping a DARLING hearing impaired boy too. I forgot to mention due to a generous fairy Godmother, Wendy Grace has her airfare PLUS her escorts airfare paid!
Not too much to report. We are still waiting on that ONE signature from the higher power in Burkina so we can start being referred children. We have workers we are currently paying and the FOG home is ready to go!
We have started our school sponsorship program. You can see all the children still needing sponsors from our homepage at: www.untilallhavehomes.org. THe link in the upper right hand corner will take you directly to that page. And speaking on UAHH, you will notice we have a new look and you can now access the FOG website from a top tab :) Fami has worked super hard on the sites and getting them launched. We will be launching a Burkina slideshow later this week too on the FOG website. We have over 200 more pictures to add to that soon, so keep checking back.
We have lots of fundraisers in the coming future you will want to be a part of. Our current one, the Africa tees, are still for sale. You can also see those from our homepage at UAHH.
Our most pressing projects right now are the school sponsorship program and a feeding program called "The Breakfast Club" for those children. We have an incredible team of volunteers researching and working on getting a food program up and running. We are hoping to have enough to spill over into a smaller very poor village in Burkina to help feed the kids there too! If you are interested in helping in any way with our African projects, we need YOU!!! We are looking for self workers who love being a team player and can work under the radar! If you are interested, you can contact me at: ann@untilallhavehomes.org
Little AJ, the quad amputee who is here in a Medical Visa, is doing great. He is learning to keep and stay up on his legs for longer periods of time! We have an incredible PT who is working hard with him so we can get him back to his family in Burkina soon!
As for adoptions, everyone is still waiting for the person in the "higher power" to also pick and sign off on the agency papers too. I was told that they will only be allowing one or two agencies tops to do adoptions in Burkina. I will post more here as soon as we know something more. I know over a dozen families are waiting to hear what is going to happen.
THanks for stopping by. I promise to update as soon as something happens and we are praying that will be soon!
Where there is no vision, the people will perish!
