My kids were standing over my shoulder watching my last blog, and they were very upset with me for mentioning only Dennis, and not any of the other kids our family sponsored.
For teachers' Christmas gifts this year, instead of buying a mug or Hershey's Kisses, we let each of the kids pick an orphan to sponsor in their teacher's name. Each of these children has Down Syndrome like our Ava, and each sponsorship from Reece's Rainbow came with an angel ornament with a picture of the sponsored child. We have 4 beautiful ornaments (5 actually, since Hope has two teachers) with these sweet faces on them to hand out next week to our teachers.
Simeon picked Josue, age 2..
(for his teacher, Mrs. Seematter)
Liesel picked...Linh, age 7
(for her teacher Mrs. Stone)
Jude's pick...Slava, age 2
(For Miss Enkers)
And last but not least, Hope picked Nazar, age 2
(For Mrs. Douglas and Mrs. Connor)
I wonder WHICH ONE Ava would have picked!? By the way, if you scroll down to the very bottom, you can see how many of these orphans have found their forever families in the six weeks that this fundraiser has been taking place! And I think little Josue is just on the verge!
