Phone Call & PGN Update

****UPDATE*****

THANK YOU TO "D" AND ALL THE STAFF AT HEBRON HIGH SCHOOL FOR DONATING ALMOST $300 TO THE ORPHANAGE. IT WILL BE AN HONOR FOR ME TO DELIVER THIS MONEY TO HELP SUPPORT THE ORPHANS.

*****************

We were informed that we are still with the second reviewer. This is OK because we did not receive a "previo". Hopefully we'll be out of PGN soon.


I called the Children's Village last night and had a chance to speak with Matthew, Paloma and Kelly. Matthew was just getting out of school and wanted to play with his friends so he just said hello and good-bye.


Talking with Paloma and Kelly, I learned this........

- Matthew is being moved to a higher level class because he has excelled in school.
- He is learning English with a one-on-one instructor.
- He is at the Children's Village with two other kids from the baby house where he once stayed.
- He only likes to be called Matthew during English class....Marlon in Spanish situations.
- He has been using eye drops because he has pink eye.
- His school day is from 7am - 4pm with a break for lunch and recess at 11am.


He really has adjusted well to his move and has become quite popular. The way it sounds, the older kids have taken him under their wing like a little brother and the younger kids look to him as a role model. He has been very protective of one of the children that came with him from the baby house.


Lastly.....please keep in mind that I'll be going to visit the Children's Village the last week in June. I have raised about $600 so far to donate to the home but am still short of my goal of $1,000. Please keep the orphans in mind and consider helping out.



Thanks,
Todd
