2010 Educational & Developmental Projects
Another Year of School
September 2010- Kimmie's school sponsorship has been renewed for another year. This investment in her life gives her opportunities as an orphan that she would not otherwise have. You will almost always find Kimmie with a smile on her face. What a joy!
School Sponsorship Renewals
July/August 2010- In May, we had the joy of spending a week at one of the schools where we sponsor a number of children for school attendance. The teachers are doing an incredible job of helping the children grow in self confidence, social skill, physical and mental stimulation, and many other areas of development. The kids were happy and interacted so well with us. We are now renewing the sponsorship of each one of them for another six months: Alli, Vicky, Chase, Samuel, Emily, Parker, Kaden, Beth, Dalton, Sammy, Steven, Matthew and Teddy.
    
   
   
School Sponsorship Renewals
April 2010- Hearing and seeing the tremendous value of school attendance on these special children, we are honored to renew their sponsorships for another 4 months. Thank you for your donations that make this possible for Samuel and Matthew, Steven, Beth and Sylvia, Rachael, and Sammy.
    
Developmental Toys
March/April 2010- Play is essential to development, and toys that help stimulate positive growth can also be lots of fun. The benefits are far reaching in the areas of physical, cognitive and emotional growth. Approximately 75 orphaned children in foster care are each being gifted with a special developmental toy. We trust these toys will give them hours and hours of stimulating fun and activity.
   
   
April 2010- After seeing how thrilled the children [above] were to receive their developmental toys, we just had to provide toys for more orphanages. Here is a sampling of more children delighted with their new toys.
  
   
More School Sponsorship Renewals
March 2010- Providing the opportunity for these children to spend a portion of their day in school is an investment with a huge return. We're pleased this month to be able to renew education sponsorships for Lee, Teddy, Parker and Gracie. Our gratitude is extended to the donors who help support these special children. Thank you!
   
July UPDATE- Gracie has been adopted!
Specialized Schooling Renewal
 March 2010- Alaina is in her third year of school sponsorship, and what a joy it is to watch her grow and develop. Alaina's sponsorship is unique in a couple ways. One, all of our school sponsored kids are much younger; and two, Alaina's sponsorship allows here the opportunity to attend a specialize school for the deaf. What a perfect match since Alaina has hearing loss. She works hard in her studies and has a talent for drawing. We are honored to help enrich her life and give Alaina the tools for a brighter future.
