Today was a rain day, so Julie and I came to Bishkek to do a bit of shopping and to go and make reservations for my Birthday outing.
Who doesn't love bowling and pizza .. Well actually I don't love it myself, but I sure do love taking kids bowling . It is such a great way to get kids to open up and interact with each other and with the adults .. so much better then going to a movie where they sit in the dark and not speak to each other. We will also add in new winter boots. We have found a boot store that will have enough sizes for everyone and they give a good discount for orphans, so we will stop there on our way.
They have opened a new pizza shop in the same building as the bowling alley so that will be convenient .
Pizza, salad, cheese sticks and drinks will be $100 for 50 people , and the bowling for 35 kids will be $80.
the boots for the orphanage and the farm boys will be about $500. and the bus to get everyone there and home again will be another $100. so total is $900 so that works out to just $18 a person ..
We have $500 in already, and looking for another $400. I would love to have the money in place by my birthday on the 14th .. Maybe consider not just making me happy for my birthday but also give a kid an incredible day AND warm feet for the winter, and then stay tuned to the blog on the Saturday the 18th.
