WOW! What a great success! After all 3 childrens sales that we have been involved in this last month we are excited to report that we have raise approximately $3600!!!! We are so excited about this! We have spoken with Vicki who runs the orphanage in Los Robles and have allocated this money to feed the children in the feeding program for the next 6 months! We are so happy to know that our hard work is feeding the kids in the village!
Vicki asked if a few hundred dollars could be allocated for the new "pre-natal" program they started this week for the pregnant women in the village and around the village! What an amazing experience to know that these women will recieve classes at the center (orphanage), a dozen eggs and a bag of Incaparina each week throughout their pregnancies because of our efforts! We pray for them all and that this will help those babies come into the world much healthier and that this will also aid the mothers' health and hopefully help their nutrition levels, so that they might be able to breast feed when their babies are born! We are continuing our efforts to collect cans of formula and there is a group leaving on June 1st that will be taking the formula with them to distribute! What an amazing feeling to know that we are feeding hundreds of children and babies and now helping the expectant mothers! Our new fundraiser will be cow-pie bingo! Our goal is to raise enough with this to buy the water purification systems  for each of the 47 families in Los Robles by the end of summer! Then, off to the fall childrens sales to raise more funds for the feeding program! It is great to see our efforts paying off and we are so excited to share our success with all of you!! Thank you all for your support! Blessings!

Well, its been a crazy 2 months working hard for the 3 childrens sales! The first sale we raised about $1400, we had the second sale last weekend and do not have our reports yet, but are possitive! This weekend is the BIG sale with JBF and we are really excited and Exhausted- we may sleep for a week after this! All of us have been working every day tagging doanted items to put in the sale- over 3800! We are so grateful to Amy and her staff at JBF who have whole heartedly "adopted" us as their chairty! She has come up with so many great ideas to help us! We really appreciate them and look forward to spending the next 3 days with them at the sale! Wish us luck and we will post when we know our totals!
