Just got an email from Midge and Angel about the first boy who entered Rancho de Esperanza. The boy is extremely thin and malnourished. He has been sniffing glue for years and his brain is deteriorated. This is the type of boy that are on the streets of Trujillo that are destroying themselves. They need someone that will pick them up, hug them, tell them that God loves them, and invite them into a loving home. Pray for wisdom and guidance in the operation of the Ranch.

I talked with the parents of our first adopted boy that went to the U.S.. He has had one tremendous time of adjustments. He has learned the English language and is getting started bringing up his level of education. He plays soccer, and since that is the national sport of Peru he really does well. Pray for the parents and Marcilino for their journey of raising a young boy.

We are starting slowly to send our older children to private school. A lot of the kids are 3 to 4 grades behind in their studies. We are trying to send the older children to private school in the morning and give them special tutoring in the afternoon. We want to start more kids, but we need approximately 50 dollars per child. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your prayers and support for the children of the orphanage.
