John Lito's long baby locks....

are gone :(

He's a big boy, now!!

Won't you be his sponsor?

The school is busy with year-end activities. Each class is preparing something to present at our promotion ceremony in June. The fifth grade girls are especially giddy as they finish out their time at our school and are moving up. They have written songs, poems, and speeches for Graduation Sunday.
Teacher Wendy Charles is working with the girls on their processionals and dances.

I believe there are doctors, nurses, teachers, musicians, artists, and seamstresses among this promising group of young ladies. We are proud of them.

Jack-Jack

Jackenson- Jack-Jack- came to us in January. His family brought him to a medical clinic. He was very malnourished and had to be force fed at first, but God had sent Cristina to love and care for him during those first difficult days.

This was our first post about him:

Jack-Jack (Peanut)-
at 23 months old and 15 lbs he was weak and lethargic on arrival at the clinic, but with Cristina's loving mommy skills, he discovered peanut butter & other yummy things & even soon learned to have preferences- Praise God for his returning strength & playful spirit! He now crawls around everywhere trying to keep up with the other toddlers. He isn't walking yet, but doesn't let that slow him down! His aunt and grandmother have each visited him sporadically, sometimes willing to touch him or hold him- other times unwilling. He will remain at the orphanage where his progress can be closely monitored until he is much stronger.

He is doing very well, now. He smiles, laughs, plays with the other children.... and just last week he started walking! Praise God!

During a recent trip to Haiti this group who sponsors Myrtha, Marietta, & Wilda visited with their families, bringing gifts and praying with them.
