KHK activities... September – October – November 2013

During the period of the three last months we had three main activities.    Firstly, we had our monthly meeting on 15th September, 6th October and 3rd November. We have already sent some reports and photos to pastor Jack and Valerie. 

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.
  Thanks you again.    Stay with GOD peace.      Gaknone  Fanta
