WELCOME! THAINA

Thaina Baltazar
Well, just before Jo and I take a little break and return to the states we had the joy of welcoming little Thaina Baltazar to our growing family. She is six years old and has already adjusted very well. She has no family as they were all swept away by flood waters from a hurricane that hit nearby. She was being kept by a neighbor woman that just couldn’t handle it any more. She is living in one of the new houses with a new nanny, Marielie Etienne. We now have 24 kids and 5 full time nannies. Contact Joel if you are interested in sponsoring little Thaina. Please be in prayer for Michelle as she will be by herself for a while.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

H and F Kids Head To School!

It was rather quiet as 13 of our kids headed off for their first day of school this year (perhaps not so quiet at school). That still left 10 for our nannies to watch. They attend a Christian school (Damou Christian Mission) next door which has about 900 kids this year. Damou Christian Mission is led by missionary Tina Isenhower, a long time friend of Drex, Jo and Michelle. We are glad to add 13 kids to their list. Your sponsorship of a child includes $300 US for that child to attend school. Check with Joel at Hands and Feet project for the children that as of yet have no sponsor. Pray for us as we look for a new nanny and more needy kids for our growing family. Drex, Jo and Michelle
