Just this past Friday, the 3rd Annual Art Show was held at Casa de Fe School. The children did a great jobof welcoming guests, singing and dancing, reciting poems and showing off their art work.

Its hard to believe that we have been here anentire year already! On the one hand, it seems likewe just got here. On the other hand, it seems likeweve been here forever

So much has happened since our last newsletterand not all of it is good. It saddens me to share thenews that we lost two children in the month ofMarch. We buried both Santiago and Baby Ruth.

While it isheart-wrenching to let them go, it iswonderful to know that they are madewhole and are in the presence of theCreator.

At the timeof thiswriting, one

of our special needschildren is in thehospital here in Shell.Please pray for Rayana.

And while youre pray-ing for Rayana, please

pray for her little sister,Linet, who recently came to live at Casa de Fe.She has the same birth defects as Rayana, and hermother is pregnant again. Please pray for thehealth of this new baby and for their mother.

We now have a total of 74 children to care for at Casa de Fe. The school year iswinding down (last day is at the end of June), and volunteer teams are comingmore steadily. Please pray for us as we minister to those teams over the nextseveral months.

We have two projects that we would like to see come to fruition inthe very near future. The first should come as no surprise as mostof you know that we had goats in the States before we came here.Wed like to purchase two dairy goats for Casa de Fe.

They would serve at least three purposes:1. The goats will help keep the grass and weeds cleaned up.2. The goats will provide milk which can also be made into yogurt and cheese.3. The goats will provide the opportunity for the children to learn animal husbandry.

Casa de Fe has already received a $100 gift toward the purchase of these goats but we would also need to builda milking stand and a small covered pen. If youd like to give specifically toward this project, simply addgoats to the memo on your check. If we receive enough funds, we may even add laying hens.

Our second project concerns my primary job here as donations coordinator. We continue to expand buildingsand the number of children we serve. We need a better way of keeping up with donations received, stored anddistributed and would like to purchase an inventory software program.

Weve not decided which program to purchase and are definitely interested in hearing suggestions! The onesweve looked at range in price from $100-$300. If youd like to give toward this project, simply writeinventory program in the memo space on your check.
