ORPHAN HOUSE #7—ROOFING IN PROGRESS!

It’s a big job putting a roof on a house that is 71 feet/22 meters long. On Mon­day, Oct. 12th, I took video footage of the brick-lay­er team help­ing the 6 car­pen­ters lift up the 6 (SIX!!) 200 lb./90 kg truss­es onto the walls for prop­er posi­tion­ing. The car­pen­ters spent the next 4 days secur­ing the cross beams into place which will sup­port the tin roof­ing sheets.  Mon­day, Oct. 19th, the car­pen­ters begin nail­ing the 140 tin sheets into place. After that is done, we are secure to com­plete this house even if the rains begin ear­ly.

NOVEMBER FOOD GIVE OUTS 75% DONE

It’s been a super busy week with our days start­ing at 3 a.m. so that the loaded food trucks could roll out before sun­rise to the remote vil­lages where the orphans live. Four major food give outs were com­plet­ed this week as well as the 2 Bala­ma dis­tri­b­u­tions on Wednes­day and Thurs­day. Our days were full of load­ing and unload­ing trucks so that orphans would not go hun­gry, and have the seeds they need to plant their fields.  Nine more vil­lages to go next week, and our 2020 food pro­gram for the vil­lages will be com­plete.

BUSH BUNNY TIDBITS:

1. THE FABULOUS FIVE wast­ed no time get­ting their field cleaned and ready for plant­i­ng this week. They were well trained by their Grand­moth­er before she passed. The pho­to shows them in the far dis­tance with Din­ha, the old­est, push­ing the group to get the job done. I took the pho­to of them work­ing  with­out them know­ing it, as  I want­ed to show you how much area 5 teenagers can clean by hand with 5 hoes in a few hours. They have almost 1.5 acres for food rais­ing. Goes to prove that Teenagers are a mighty force when they put their mind to accom­plish­ing a goal.

2. ANGELINA (Angel), our youngest orphan, will be 1 year old on Oct. 19th. She is just begin­ning to walk inde­pen­dent­ly, but wasn’t inter­est­ed in walk­ing for our pho­to, as she was “busy” with her toy. How time flies, for it seems like just yes­ter­day when we had 9 babies in dia­pers run­ning around here.  Now all 9 are WALKING!
 

Baby Angeli­na (Angel) cel­e­brates 1 year on Mon­day, Oct. 19!
 
 
3. MONICA NEEDS PRAYER. HEALTH DIMINISHING. 
Mon­i­ca has a birth defect (non-oper­a­ble hole in her heart). She is now 8 and weighs only 11kgs/24 lbs. Last week she became sick with a cough/respiratory infec­tion which the hos­pi­tal treat­ed. But her strength is dimin­ish­ing.  Please keep her in prayer. 
 

Mon­i­ca today. Pray for increased strength.​
 

YOUR LOVE GIFTS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE, FOR NONE OF THESE CHILDREN HAD A CHANCE TO GROW UP HEALTHY WITHOUT THE HELP THAT YOU PROVIDE.  THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
