June update 2009

June 2009

June has been a difficult month for all of us here in Honduras. The children suffered from a virus that they passed around and even shared with some of our workers. Some of the children were sick for almost two weeks. The political situation continues to be one of unrest and instability. We continue to wait and pray to see what happens next. As a result of the political unrest, the children have been off from school and Dorian's college classes have also been canceled a lot. The children do not understand what is going on in Honduras, and to them, it is just a vacation.
Lots of groups visited Casa the first few weeks of June and kids always love when they are able to meet new people and reconnect with some they have met before. With the groups visiting, we have had great support at our Casa store. Just this month we have got some of the items for sale online. You can shop and help support Casa at www.casastore.blogspot.com. Please check the website often for new items added.
I left mid June for the states for a friend's wedding and to get some rest. And it turns out that this might be a good time to be out of Honduras with the unrest there and uncertainty of who if anyone is in charge. The bad news is that I am separated not only from the children but my husband Dorian. My brother Brian is also at Casa, and he and Marc Tindall and Dorian are keeping Casa running. Please pray from everyone's safety that remains there to serve.

Blessings~

Dorian & Karen Guido
