Summer Projects.

As we are preparing to head back to Canada , we spoke with some of our team to see what they have planned for the summer if funds were available ... Here are some of their dreams .   

Summer time at lake Isykool is a special time, but also something that many of the village kids from under privileged homes would only dream of .

The farm has access to a large couple decker tour bus that could hold about 40 kids and their gardians .. this is a big dream , but it would be awesome if we could take them all on a road trip for 4 or 5 days around the lake .

They would have beach time  as 23ll as experience camping. 

We have not worked out all the expences yet, but we estimate about $40 a kid . .. looking for 50 kids to be sponsored for this .

So on the farm we have 4 sheep .. not sure where they came from or who's they are  but I do know that when you turn you back they are standing in our flower garden 

Even when one of the boys stays out there with them , they do get distracted .

And steps away is our garden .

Our solution is to put up a fence over at the first house where we have a couple donkey's that way the donkey's and the sheep can have free roming with out getting into trouble .. the only thing on that farm is wood and coal getting ready for distribution 

 The cost of the fence will be about $400 

Every week they guys go visit Mirlan at the hospital.  There are about 75 people in His section and we like to bring toilet paper and cleaning supplies for them this costs about $50 a week. 

I spoke with Vera . She has a few ideas for the summer as well.  First is a summer camp for the kids in The village . It will run for the full week , possibly 2 weeks depending on funds .  She is hoping for a out $1000

This next need has been met ..thank you. Vera is thrilled. 

  Her next request is for a laptop.  She does trainings in the schools and for city initiatives.. they focuse on things like brid napping and human trafficking .. her old laptop is a small notebook we bought her about 15 years ago.. it is no longer stable and able to meet the need . A new laptop for her would be between $800 and $1000. 

So this next request is one that Julie and I would really like to get behind.  As you drive through the mountains,you will see garbage everywhere ... Our guys have started to recognize this themselves. They would like to go twice a month picking up garbage and make it an event that would incourage others to join in.    There are some coats involved .. Desil for the truck and dump fees when we take the garbage to the dump. As well we would like to provide snacks and beverages as well as the garbage bags ..  June 6 will be the first day of picking up garbage and I will know better then the cost and will update the blog then,but for now I am thinking it will be around $60 each time .
 

Let's keep beautiful Kyrgyzstan beautiful.
