Venturing out of the village
August 24, 2007
Hi friends,
Just an update on what is happening here. Last week, we took the 12 boys to the capitol city for an educational trip. We visited the soccer stadium, an animal sanctuary, the tomb of the former dictator, "big" office buildings, grocery store, dry cleaner, photo studio and the airport. It was quite an adventure that they will never forget and it opened their eyes to a whole new world outside the village. Oh and the most important part of their development - we ate pizza and ice cream, two foods loved all over the world!
Afterwards, we discussed all the job possibilities that we saw and what they liked best. The airport was among their favorites and they all had a place they wanted to fly to. Remember the boy on the postcards for the 2006 fundraiser, who some said looks like Kip? Well, when asked where he wanted to fly to, he said, "New York City" and asked why? He replied, "to get a job there". So Kip, Happy is getting ready for NYC - was it prophetic that you put him on the card, so that many New Yorkers will recognize him?
More news later about new school experiences for the boys.
