Making Progress

This past weekend Sarah, Jod, and I went to the beach. We came prepared with freezies and pitchers of lemonade, and Jod and I made a sign about SCH. We swam for a bit, and then began our sales. I haven't done a lemonade stand since I was 7 or 8 (hence why we brought Jod along!) but thanks to his cuteness, it did pretty well and we made about $50 for the girls' ayah in India. One older couple gave us a $20 bill. Most gave the 50 cents for lemonade or a freezie, but those 50 cents add up.

It is now crunch time for both the Ayah and the Education Fund. Both of these need to be funded by the end of August.

First there is the girls' ayah. April and Molly have no one in the world except for Sarah, and us. With 82 kids and more on the way, they need this ayah to get the attention they deserve. They need to be stimulated in order to thrive. April is so close- she is standing with her walker and I just saw an incredible video of her taking steps. She has came so far and can only go forward from here. $500 for the ayah has been raised. For those of you with a heart for children with special needs, please consider taking on this project and sharing it in your networks.

The Education Fund is going better. Andrielis is completely funded and will be registering at the new school soon. Andy and Yoandi are getting there, as you can read on their blog. They went to the evaluation at the new school, and the headmaster said their grades are too low. She said they have to go to a summer school every afternoon for a month, and then come back to get re-evaluated. There is a need of $50 for this:


I am trying my hardest with these needs, but want to reach out one more time and see if anybody can help. After these projects are funded, I am definitely going to be taking a fundraising break!! But in the meantime, these kids are very close to my heart and these needs are great.
