The children are doing well! Angela has her meds sorted out and she is healthy and happy- no more nausea and dizzyness thank goodness. She is growing like a weed so she goes for a doctors check up and blood tests every month. Now that she is in school regularly her grades are high and she is an average healthy littlle girl.
Flavia is doing fantastic. She is getting good grades in school and is now old enough that she helps in the garden and with the household chores. Of course she also has plenty of time to play with her little sister.
David is excelling in his studies as usual. He is a very bright young man. There have been a few issues with his older brother Michael popping in and out of their lives- and David has a fairly hard time with it. We are considering sending him to boarding school next year so he can better focus on his school work. We'll see what transpires.
Raymond is still in boarding school. He comes home on the weekends to spend time with his siblings. During school holidays he works making bricks, and as a laborer for builders in the area. He is a hard working kid!
Michael is still having behavioral issues. We enrolled him in Ebenezer school- it's a mix between a reform school, vocational institute, and hospital. They deal with troubled youth and do their best to re-focus the youths down a productive path. Fortunately joining the school was Michael's suggestion, so we hope for the best.
Unfortunately Cathy and her daughters left, so a neighbor to the children is taking care of them. She is a grandmother named Nallongo. The childen stay at her house in the mornings and after school where she is taking excelent care of them, and one of Nallongo's sons sleeps in the children's main house with them at night.
It is amazing what the kindness of neighbors, family, and wellwishers can accomplish. A HUGE Thank You to everyone who is helping give these children a warm, loving, comefortable childhood. Your compassion means the world to them.
