Keeping in Touch with Photos of the Boys

June 13, 2010 Posted by Karen Huxter 3 Comments

Not much news.  I just want to get in touch.

All kids love to play and mine are certainly no exception.   Anyone who has been here with us knows the joy my kids get from people playing with them.  Recently they have been blessed with visits from people doing short term mission work in Borel.  Steve has had teams coming and going a lot.  They come to help Steve with the work at Project Help but they also come here to meet the kids.  Once they have met them they like coming back to share time and attention with them.  Looks like a win/win situation to me.  Everyone gets blessed.

The work has been continuing on the building that houses the water tanks.  Still one tank to be moved but we have been busy at other things.  Three are there and water is flowing to the compound.   The two storage rooms on the first level are being cemented inside.  When that is finished and the doors and screens are on, I will start moving things there.

Today is  ‘boy’ day.  I am sharing some photos of my boys – Vladimy age 14 and doing grade 7;  JJ age 8 and doing grade 3;  Moise  age 7 and in grade 2;  Ti Luc  age 4 and in the prescolaire class;  Dieunel  – just turned 4 and also in the prescolaire class;  Judel  age  2  (3 in August) and a definite wannabe in the precolaire class.  Judel cries every morning when the other kids leave for school.
