Here is a letter I received from Abby about the boys we sponsor:
Hey Gina,
About Eddy, he now comes to our street programs regularly and hopefully will begin sleeping in the church soon. There are 2 new homes opening up for 40 kids in our street programs to go into and we want Eddy to be given another chance in one of these homes (praise the Lord for them opening!) so within 2 weeks, as long as Eddy stays around in our programs, and I am sure because he is such a smart kid that he will, he will be going to a different home off of the streets.
Amos and Godfrey are also doing wonderfully! Amos adapted to the home the moment we brought him home. he is such a sweet, responsible, and caring kid. Godfrey is also doing great, he is passionate, caring, and loves to make people happy!
The boys are on school holiday now for 4 weeks which is exciting, Davis came home with us from boarding school and is having a blast. I bought 4 pairs of roller skates for the boys to share, it was the most hilarious thing watching them as they learned. They now have the hang of it and we often take them to the basketball court at the university nearby to practice. We are also reading through the Chronicles of Narnia series with the boys, especially on their holiday and they LOVE it, they just love books. It has all 6 or 7 of the books in one big, fat book and we ARE going to finish it! =-) We are also reading through a book about Jesus, (it goes through the New Testament- all of His teachings and His life, death, and resurection) for devotions each night and then talking about it after we read it
Pious, Dissan, and Shafik are composing more songs to sing at church- they are so cute, they love performing and writing songs to praise God for the new life that He has given them.
William, Peter, Amos, Shafik, and Kateregga also got special treats for being the "cleanest" boys in the house and doing such a great job working hard to wash their clothing and keep it clean.
God bless,
Abby
