BACK TO SCHOOL DAYS

Yesterday we spent the day rounding up all the kids and parents that are receiving school sponsorship from some very generous people that understand the importance of education, especially in the lives of the underprivileged children in the colonia. With $100.00 donated for each child to get them registered and their uniforms for the year, we have to date enough money for 22 children of which 19 have been sponsored so far. We are praying for many more kids to be in school this year and will not refuse sponsorship to any, regardless of the donation being made or not. We have some notebooks and supplies left over from last year, but will need to buy more as the need presents itself. We are still finding some families in need of temporary shelter and thanks to a generous donation of ten huge new tents, and some much needed mosquito nets, these needs are being met. The water in Flores De Mayo is slowly going down, and we heard the water in the old colonia we use to work in has gone down and the people are starting the clean up process. We will try to get cases of bleach over there this week. As we try to get back into the swing of things here after such a long time away, it's always hard to see so families with so many needs, but God knows all of our and their needs and promises to meet them. So thanks to so many of you for partnering with us to be Jesus' heart, filled with compassion, when He saw the needs of the people.
