The New "Normal"

 We know that "normal" has a different meaning for everyone, especially right now. Our new normal consists of a few things, including educating the kids at home, wearing masks everywhere, and trying to keep ourselves busy. To be honest, there is always something to do around the house or for the kids. And we're grateful for all of you and your support over this last year, considering this has not been a wonderful year for so many. 


We are grateful that part of life continues to be mostly normal. The kids need to eat, the kids need to DO something each day, and they need to stay busy or they get bored. Thanks to a friend, the kids have been learning to sew for the last month. Each child can make basic pants and shirt now. That is only after one month! They are learning other important life skills that are valid as well, including cooking, caring for different animals like our dogs and a few chickens, and learning how to stay on task to get their school work finished at home, in a new environment. 

All of the kids have done so well and we are so proud of them. We are grateful for the continued support as we learn to navigate what the rest of 2020 could throw at us. But in all things, we thank God for his grace and provisions. 

We will continue to work with the kids, engage with them and help them in all the ways we can! We may have some exciting news for you soon...Please stay tuned!!

God Bless You All, 

Gildo - Interim Director
