Here is Paula and Lynnea's story, it wouldn't be as elaborated as Bruce's but we think it is good
So far 21 kids have been registered, thanks to the generosity of our (GOD'S) ministry partners. Here are some of the names:
Juan, Edgar, Josue, Ruth Noemi, Joshua Caleb, Rosa, Rebeka, Jair, Distally, America, Eliaquin, Jonathan, Brian, Emily, Alexandra, Rubi, Dora, Esther, Inocencio, Josue, Eleazar. I know there are many more that will need help with registration plus many other expenses such us meals in school, uniforms, shoes, testing charges transportation, backpacks and school supplies, etc.....We are hearing from some more families that they need help to get their children in school. Some children can not get registered for this year until last years payments are made in full. School is not required so some parents do not enforce that their children attend so we have to discern which families we should assist. We do request that parents show us receipts and report cards to prove the real desire for an education. Unfortunately some do not. We have gone shopping for school supplies and uniforms. We have been buying supplies by the cases to try and meet the needs, but we are still shopping. Some of the children are so excited they have modeled their uniforms for us. Lynnea and I are also sewing some. The challenge is to make them look like the original uniforms.
