Challenging

Blogging has continued to be a challenge for various reasons so my apologizes for those keeping up. School started today so very busy the beginning of the week with painting, organizing, cleaning, at the school. Gathering school supplies for the 35 children at the Home that attend school. Plus making sure everyone had shoes and clothes for school. The cost for a child to attend school for a year is $450. That comes to $50. a month for books, supplies, teacher salaries and maintaining the school building. Fifty dollars a month is not much at all for all of those expenses to be covered - but paying for 35 children to attend from the Home is quite expensive. Please consider making a donation to the buy a book campaign for $25. or get a small group, your church, your close friends, your neighbors, whatever works to contribute funds for one child to attend school. http://eaglesnestint.org/new-day-school.html Funny, funny thing happened when I went to help the smaller girls get to school. Adorable little Lizzy went to pick up her back pack and it was so heavy she had to bend forward or I am certain she would of tumped over backwards!! It was hilarious and we all started laughing. No way she could of carried it so I was the lucky one that got to walk her to school and carry it. Hoping you can look at facebook and see the photos!! The days are full with projects but I always make time to play and love on the kids. They love riding their bikes back and forth on the rocky drive - probably not even a fourth of a mile from one end to another. So they go back and forth, back and forth and have so much fun. Thankful for the folks that have purchased the bikes and helmets - it brings the kids much joy. The workers that maintain property and make sure everything is working properly love the children. So sweet to see them help the kids ride a bike, comfort them if they are upset,or give them a hug and just love on them. They work hard here and most have been with Eagle's Nest for years. Again, hoping you can check out facebook and see some of the photos.... So thankful for my time here but hard to believe I only have 15 more days. Makes me sad to think about it so I won't. Will make the most of every day and cherish the time I have here. Grateful for support and prayers that allow me to be here.
