September 15th the Hospital Church
welcomed the KIDS to sing at their two services
According to the new
list, we have 60 children. We
have 13 new children this year because some don’t come again others who already
passed 18th year old we replace them by those who really need help.
Five kids out of 13 do not yet have their photo taken because they forget the
dates of the meetings; the eight others have already taken their photos taken
in the camera of Pastor Felix. We have already sent some sent some photos to pastor
Jack and Valerie Frederick.
We are working on KHK
with Pastor Felix but these times he is very busy since September part of his
family is in Meiganga, and he has to take care of them, he co-ordinates the
chaplain and social workers and these days he loosed his mother and sister
in-law in Meiganga, so it is not easy for him to work with me every day on the
program but he is informed about all the activities of the program.
The activity which
most takes time is paying scholarship. First, we have to evaluate the school
level and the school needs of every kid. Secondly, we evaluate the cost of
books and scholarship. Thirdly, we buy and distribute the willing books of each
kid need. Fourthly, we went to different schools and we paid the fees of those
could not pay as in the bills attached last time.
About school, our
statistics are that 12 children could not pay anything at all no books, no
school fees and no school uniforms. 38 children have some books and a part of
school fees. For these two categories of children we paid all of them their
school fees some we paid part of their school fees and writing books, pens,
pencils, erasers, rulers for all of them.
50 children need few
writing books to complete what families paid.
Only 7 children have
all their writing books totally bought by their families.
2 children were sent
out of school because they did not have their school uniforms. We also bought
the uniforms for them now they are going school normally.
Nevertheless there is
still 7 people who said during the last meeting that they will be sent out of
school soon if they do not have their school uniforms, so they are really in
need.
We are very upset
because there is no much money of school found of the program left to help
them. There is now 13.000 FRS CFA. We would like to ask Pastor Jack and Valerie
what to do with this petty cash. We hope that some parents will buy some things
for some kids as we ask them during our visits.
We also want to inform
Pastor Jack and Valerie that the camera is not still working up to know to take
pictures we use the camera of Pastor Felix or for my husband to send them to
you so we need another camera please.
For the health care
from June to now we had 5 children who were ill and have been to the hospital.
We paid medicines for all of them. All the bills are not yet available because
the financial administration of the hospital wants to gather the entire bills
together to send to the program so that we can pay (we please you to be sure
that all the bills will be sent to you at the same time with the financial
details of the health care of the children later when we will have all the
bills).
Here are the others details
of the KHK Program activities;
At every meeting we
share the word of GOD, singing, pray and give lessons about daily life.
The topics of the
lessons we teach are for example
To be polite
The obedience
Faith to GOD
The love of GOD
The work at school and
at home
The success etc…
Last Sunday we had our
monthly meeting, we prayed, sung songs, talked about how to pray, why sometimes
GOD cannot answer to our prayers and the children gave their opinions and some
advice were given to them about prayers. We also talk about how we can organize
Christmas feast. So, all the children agreed that we can begin to celebrate
Christmas from now.
We will meet every
Sunday at 12 O’clock to organize our Christmas activities. But the only
difficulty we will have is the absence of some of the children amongst the 60
children. We think that if we can have gifts, toys, sweets provided for them
they will all be present without any absent.
We are very
thankful to you for your LOVE for us , you pay more attention to these orphans
and vulnerable children , all what we can say is that may GOD bless you and
give you more strength in this assistance and these words are also for all the
brothers and sisters in your SYNOD.
