Wendy is a Christian girl in need of a school sponsor. We have also loaded a slideshow of Burkina. It is in black and white, we are working on resize it so it will fit on our server in color and make sure you have your speakers on! http://www.untilallhavehomes.org/FOG/foghome.html
Just a fast update! We have 48 children sponsored for school!! We have 15 left. We only had 10 until yesterday when our AFrican director sent me 5 more. You can see the kids at: http://untilallhavehomes.org/FOG/sponsorship.html. Some of these kids stories are just heartbreaking! I also want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all our sponsors, new and old! What an incredible bunch of ppl you are! Thanks for making a difference in these kids lives! ALSO, THE BAGS OF RICE WE HAVE BEEN BUYING FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS ARE 100 POUNDS NOT 50. That was my fault! So you are getting twice the rice than you thought you were buying.
We have updated our HOW YOU CAN HELP PAGES with lots of fun items and items you can buy to help the children and people in Burkina. We have a wonderful friend of the ministry who is going be designing some custom jewelry to help us fundraise for both FOG and UAHH. You can take a preview peek at her designs: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5208670. Think holidays, birthdays, any occasion or just for fun. We hope to have them soon!
We have been overly blessed this month by so many things, where do I begin! First we rec'd a HUGE donation for our FOG projects! We are still contemplating what to do with this. I know that we are working on a feeding program for our school kids and also are going to expand that into a poor district in the capital. It was the same area we did a small one time feeding effort a couple of months ago. We are going to be feeding 100 children. So 150 children a week are going to be fed 5 days a week!! How incredible is that. We are working out details, and I will be happy to share once they are worked out!
Another incredible donor is wanting to help us fund some self help projects, such as farming, livestock, teaching trades etc. We are in the thought process on this one. Once the school sponsorship program is closed for the year, than we will be working on this too.
If you are interested in helping organize, plan or research any of these projects, we can always use volunteers. WE ask that you be a self worker, a person who can work well behind the scenes and who is a team player! If you are interested please contact me at: ann@untilallhavehomes.org
We are also working on handouts etc that you can approach your church, work, schools with. This should be done very soon. If you are interested in materials to present to help us fundraise and get the word out, please contact me again, at the email above.
As for the orphanage, we are being told that we will have kids soon! We are still praying and know it will be in God's timing! Also Wendy Grace, the little girl below, has care in the US for treatment of her limbs. She will be coming soon and once again a GENEROUS donor has donated her airfare and an escorts! GOD IS SO INCREDIBLE!
Thanks for checking in! Hoping to add lots more soon!
