BACK
TO SCHOOL
School
was supposed to start on Monday, but the authorities decided to
change it to tomorrow, and we only learned those
news today.
And
we have not found a driver. We had three prospects
- one had an expired license, one couldn't drive, and the other
one was not available during the day.
I
have paid for driving school for about 5 people, and yet, I'm the
only one on our base with a license. And I do not have a choice
but to get in the car and drive them myself.
Three
years ago I had to do that as well for a season - but it was fewer
children, only one school, and that school was pretty close, and
it was only back and forth once a day - and I ended up having a
physical breakdown after three months. Today, we have 22
kids in 5 different schools, and they come home for lunch,
and go back in the afternoon. Driving our kids is therefore a full-time
job that starts at 6:30 in the morning and ends at 7 pm.
I'm
sure I do not have to underline any more the importance of us finding
a driver. I won't be able to do anything but driving, and already
the rising heat has taken a toll on my energy levels. It's
imperative for us to find a driver as quickly as possible!!!
NEW
CHILD - PAUL JR.
Paul
- a street child we've known for a year - moved in with us on Sunday.
He's praying for a sponsor who'll support him with €40 or $60
a month. Read his life story on the RESIDENT
KIDS page.
SAVE
US, LORD!
Holding on,
