!"##"$%&'()*)+,$-*$./0)*-)$1,23/0,4$52)67-)$)*7$"*)8!)&-)9 Praise the Lord for everything!! We are glad to tell you that we got two more girls at the orphanage, seven and three years old.! These girls are sisters of Bella, a girl already at the orphanage. The oldest one is going to start school tomorrow.! ! When they came!they were so attached to me that! when they had to say bye to their mom they did not want to.! Because they were raised in the country! and did not have an indoor bathroom, instead of going to the toilet inside, the little one pulled down her underwear and did what she had to do on the carpet in the bedroom!! After we told her that it was not good to do that she went outside in front of the door and then again later on the stairs!! They are so cute, and I love them! ! Rica and Cathy Gonciulea Romania
"$:/0,$.6*$;/&$<(,$5(-27&,*$/;$=)/4 Playing good softball and winning games matters to this hard working and determined team from Keller High School of Keller, TX.! They"ve won state championships in 2003 and 2005, and have been named the top high school program in the nation by USA Today / National Fastpitch Coaches Association Poll.!! Many of the children in Southeast Asia are at a crossroad that will determine whether they find meaning and purpose in life or end up in some form of child trafficking within the region.!
Softball team member, Halee Done, shared this need with her coach, Mrs. Ashley Strong, who then challenged the team to reach around the world.! When all was said and done, the Lady
Indian"s softball team embraced this opportunity to make a difference and gathered several large boxes of backpacks filled with school supplies for the students who attend the MANNA English Training Campus in Pakse, Laos!! Some of them have already been delivered, while the rest will be delivered by another MANNA team traveling this summer.! These supplies, providing hope and long-term development for a brighter future through education, are priceless in the lives of these precious children.!Through this group effort the girls are learning that teamwork really does make the dream work…on and off the field!
