Outreach 7 was another large outreach and a great way to end the summer. The girls we had with us from Turlock, Raisin City and our independent friends Vicki and Katie were such a blessing. Katie is a speech therapist and was a wonderful help in evaluating the kids speech abilities, and educating the teachers on things they can do to help their classes run more smoothly.
This group, as the last one of the summer, had the "privilege" of helping us end out the year. They helped us plan and prepare for the last day of classes and then helped us clean up afterward. From cleaning up the outside of the school to scraping glue off of desks and walls (yes walls)they had wonderful attitudes and servants hearts. What a blessing.
We have now finished our first week of "summer" vacation and have 3 more to go. That means there will not be a lot of posts in the next month, but pray with us that the kids not only enjoy their vacation, but that they remain safe and well cared for in the mean time.
For all you sponsors, this "break" gives me an opportunity to update our files and send out new photos. I will be joining forces with our ladies in the home office to update the sponsorship files and our roster from the school. It is possible for some of you that your sponsor child will not be continuing with us in the fall as we have had a lot of changes in our enrollment. We will notify you individually if that is the case and offer you the opportunity to help another child within our school. We have several new children starting in the fall, so please be praying for them and if you have friends who want to sponsor a child please point them in our direction.
Thank you all for all of your prayers and donations over this past summer, we could not do what we do here in the DR without your help!
