December was a very special time for the children. This month we had a number of organizations come and help put on programs for the children. These activities make the children feel special as well as celebrate Christmas. I have to report that Santa Claus got sick this year and he had to use some of the relatives. This is really true–we have a gentlemen that comes to the orphanage about 3 to 4 times per year with gifts. He very much looks the part and he is very jolly. The kids call him papa noel (santa claus). This year he got sick, and his daughters brought over the gifts.

Our volunteer couple Joel and Robyn have done a super job co-coordinating all the volunteer workers with the children. They post often on their blog. The blog address is http://www.joelrobynhanson.blogspot.com. If you would like to find a site that posts regularly and gives you a lot more detail, then this is the site for you.

I want to give my supporters a special thanks for their gifts and prayers to the ministry. All I can say is “To God be the Glory for the things He hath done.” I am looking forward to 2008 and the things that my Great Savior has for this ministry. feliz Nuevo Ano. Dios te bendiga.

Chau,
