Pray August 4th

Appointment date is August 4th. Please pray all goes smoothly. Please pray for safe travel.
We are planning on hosting 8. We were told 6 girls and 2 boys. Ages 6-15.
We are very excited and hopeful. We still need lots of volteers. Please see past blogs for the list of needs.

2 More?

We are praying about bringing 8 children instead of 6. This would mean another $5,000. It cost $2,500 per child just to bring them here. There are 2 orphans that were told they would be coming and their host home has canceled, due to August arrival. My heart goes out to these girls. I think we will be able to borrow a set of bunk beds for them. Planned sleeping arrangements change often here. We will decide very soon.
Appointment is still August 4.
Needs: Volunteers for trips, home days, meals, planning trips, organizing, garbage pick up and help around host home. $25.00 gift card, we would like each orphan to be able to shop for anything their heart desires. (This will be a field trip, you may sign up to help a child shop.) New clothes for each child. (We may do this as a field trip also to get correct sizes). Bottled water, Caprisuns, lots of fruit, popsicles, and meals. (Would someone like to get church groups to do meals?)
When needs are fulfilled we will take them off the list. We will add needs as they arrive. It would be helpful for those coming to the host home to call first and possibly help with errands on the way here. (I expect to run out of milk, eggs and bread often.)
To volunteer or ask questions e-mail Hollieeholmes@aol.com
If you have already volunteered please e-mail your name, address, phone numbers, how many will be coming with you and what you are volunteering to do. A complete list is needed.
Thank you!
