FROM “BUSH BUNNY BRENDA“ DATE: JANUARY 15, 2022 ELECTRICITY COMING OUR WAY Electric hook-ups are scheduled for February 2022 for any home that is properly wired. Two electricians have worked long hours since January 3rd to wire all 7 of our orphan homes. House #7 is due to be completed today, meaning that we are by ready when the juice is hooked up. Electricians wiring House #7, the Leopard House. It’s an exciting milestone for all our staff, as nighttime call-outs for sick children will be a bit easier with lights in their rooms. TWO OF OUR YOUNGEST, NOW ON THEIR FEET! Chebany began to take shaky steps this week, and Baby Gilda makes her debut by standing independently. How time flies as our “baby houses” are becoming Toddler Homes. Gilda in middle standing independently for first time. Adelina, 3, on left, with Maezinha, almost 2, on right. See Chebany learning to walk at this YouTube link. —> https://youtu.be/tn_5A0SZI5M Rains knocked out most of our outdoor games for the older children this week, but that’s the rainy season way. Foster Mother Cecelia entertains our youngest while their Foster Mothers prepare lunch and wash clothes. Note: Exam results for our 2 young men who tested will not be out till next week. Helder, our Teacher Graduate will do his first job interview next week. Please keep him in your prayers, as he is a bit nervous. With many “Duck Days” ahead through February, we thank you for your prayers that all will stay healthy. (A duck day is a rainy day, as only the ducks are happy!) MANY BLESSINGS, BUSH BUNNY BRENDA LANGE AND THE BALAMA STAFF |
