..................New House!!!

11:53pm Aug,14 This is the new house that is renting, It is much bigger and better than their old orphanage. It has running water but they are currently having trouble paying their water bill. They are in need of $75. If you can help it would be greatly appreciated. New photos of the items bought for the kids last month should be posted by next week. From the recent sell of the necklaces the children were able to get 5 mattresses, 30 lbs of Rice, 35 lbs of corn meal, and 25 lbs of beans. They also got a soccer ball and a few other small items. Beans cost 65 cents for 2 lbs and corn meal is 55 cents for 2 lbs Rice costs about $1 for 2 lbs. Mosquito nets were also bought for around 5 kids in June. Money for food is always needed because feeding around 20 kids can get expensive. You can make a donation for any of the items listed above just make a note on paypal so we'll know what you would like the money to be used for! I also have a few necklaces left and if you buy 1 the money help
