For real!

January 31, 2010

I told you a few days ago that there was a possibility we were going to be getting some more kids… Well, Lale just got back with 6 more children! They are all 2-3-and 4 years old and seem to be healthy. We have no idea what we are going to do about [...]

Can we make it to 76?

January 29, 2010

It’s not that big of a number when you look at it, 76…. It’s actually sort of a nice number, not too precisely proportioned like 75 is, and not excessively symmetrical like 77. And when you apply 76 to something like the number of new supporters you need to save the lives of innocent children [...]

5!

January 28, 2010

We just got word that our new relationships with the government are paying off, they heard of five children from some of the remote villages and asked that we go and pick them up. I have to say that we are thrilled to hear this news! We were still not sure how this was all [...]

Good news

January 27, 2010

I am sorry that the last depressing news post stayed at the top for so long. We have been running around like crazy making plans to ensure that we do not have the same thing happen again and actually got a call that there is a baby in one of the far south villages waiting [...]

A very sad day

January 25, 2010

I don’t know how to write this, I already wrote this post four times and deleted it every time. There is just no easy way to say what I have to say.
Lale spent the last four days out in the tribes and found that all three children were killed in the few days leading up [...]

Three

January 22, 2010

Today Lale set out before the sun came up. We rented a landcruiser and he packed it full of supplies and water for the trip. He got word that there are three more kids out in one of the villages, as usual the details are not clear. Lale says that he expects to [...]

And Tighter….

January 17, 2010

We are supposed to pick up 3 more kids this coming week and already its getting to be a very tight squeeze, I can’t imagine what its going to look like with 16 children in one 1300 SQ Ft house. We are starting to look at options of opening a second house in the [...]

Breathe….

January 15, 2010

Not more than five hours after we got the first call this morning did Eric have a happy healthy 10 month old baby girl in his arms and was making his way across the country in a helicopter, taking her to the safety and loving arms of our nannies in the orphanage. I am [...]

Pray!

January 15, 2010

Lale and his wife Gido are staying with us right now, they are working on some government renewal stuff and ended up here at our house to crash for a few days. This morning we all woke up and started making breakfast when Lale’s phone rang. It was our guy from out in [...]

Some changes

January 13, 2010

You may have noticed that we have made some changes on the site here. I wanted to explain a bit about what is going on and ask for your help on a few things.
We recently found out about several local non profit organizations who have been shut down because of perceived political involvement. [...]
