Update on Summer Camps

 Camp is under way for many of those we work with.  Vera is preparing for camp for her village this week , photos to follow.  The guys from the farm and 5 other youth from the village will be heading around lake Isykool next week. 

Right now we have a group of kids at Isykool for "extreme camp"  This is such a blessing that we were able to sponsor so many to attend . 

                                                    Romina and Sabina at the lake 




This next photo shows the kids on the beach partaking in some cool games . 



Sabina and Romina are two of the kids we would like to get into a safer and better environment for school this fall .  As I shared before they are currently in a terrible school and must travel between 1 1/2 and 2 hours each way by bus to get to it .. There is no room in any of the schools closer to home, but we have found a private school very close to home for them . 

Another person we would like to help with Education is Elena.  
Elena comes out to the farm twice a week and meets with everyone on the farm individually and as a group.  She also works with our people in Bishkek one day a week as well as home visits with some others that we are working with.  I am so blessed when I look out at the farm and see her sitting on the bench in the orchard or on the veranda sitting and having a one on one counselling session with one of the kids or workers  .

 Elana is always taking courses to give her more tools and a better understanding of the people she is helping.  She has an opertunity now to study on line a course on clinical psychology and psychiatry  


This course is over $1000 so it is way out of her price range.  we would love to be able to assist her with this .  like we try to do for Nick .   For years Nick worked on the farm, and had a chance to start his post secondary education .  He could have done anything, and he decided to go into Psychology   When I asked him why he chose that, he said it was so he could "Help with the Family Business " 
Like many of those we sponsor, they are bettering themselves so that they are able to give back !


If you would like to invest in the future of these or many of the other kids we sponsor through our scholarship fund, please donate through the link on the top right side of the blog .  We are looking for $10 000 this year to cover the needs .
