Lately I've been helping translate the girls stories to help them get sponsors. If you or anyone you know wants to sponsor a child, this is a great place to do it! It costs $40 for a girl to stay at Home of Blessing per month. Right now, about half of the girls have sponsors. The more sponsors, the more girls can live here! There is also the option to team up with other sponsors if you aren't able to pay the whole $40. In this case, two sponsors would each pay $20 a month or something like that. If you are interested in seeing some pictures of the girls that need sponsors and their stories, let me know!
I've been having alot of fun learning more about the girls through this. They come sit down with us, the I ask questions and write down what they say with Siriporn translating. Some have very sad stories. What always amazes me is their dedication to Jesus. If someone had asked me what I like to do in my free time when I was 8, "pray" or "read my bible" probably wouldn't have been on the list. Praise God! Here's some pics I took of the girls in their Hmong outfits. They are so cute!
Absolutely DELIGHTED to see these pictures, Hannah! Thanks for posting, and for advocating for them. We'll talk, for sure!

Totally 100% cute.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! How about telling us one or two of the girls' stories? I'd love to hear them.
ReplyDeleteDo you know whether there is any provision for sponsoring a girl for a specific time period--like a year, or 5 yrs?
We had a good time at Rachel's shower on Saturday. Becki was especially glad to meet some of the Garretts whose names she has heard for years. Wow--Shelly's place is great! Wish you could have been there. I caught myself looking for you before remembering that you were thousands of miles away! Your aunt Cheryl said she did that too. We miss you.

How cute are they!?!? I am sure they will miss you. We do so hurry up and come home!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can get the stories on to my computer, but I will definitely bring them home. I'm pretty sure you can stop sponsoring any time, or at least after one year. I wish I could have gone to the shower!!! I haven't seen Shelly's house in a long time. Did anyone take pictures?? I'm leaving in one week! Crazy!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are doing this! Those girls are beautiful! Cant wait to see ya, love you :)
