Aug Update 2010

August 2010

By mid August, things have finally slowed down from summer with groups visiting. The children love the new soccer field here at Casa and enjoy it every day. They are training and working on becoming the "Casa de Esperanza" All Star soccer team. Almost all of the bicycles have been repaired, thanks to Josue. So when they are not playing soccer, they are riding their bikes on the field. The children have not had much school. And when they do have classes they are not very consistent. Most weeks they attend maybe three days a week and then get out of class early. Towards the end of the month the teachers finally resolved their problem with the government for the time being and classes are back to normal.
We have suffered through lots of fevers and sickness the first weeks of aug, We had the first kids becoming ill, tested for dengue just to make sure they did not have this dreaded fever. Thank you Lord, it was nothing serious and the tests came back fine. It was just a virus that went through most of the children.
Dorian has been on break from school, which has been a huge blessing to me. He has been able to help out with lots and lots of Casa errands and transportation. Homework continues to be one of the hardest parts of the day. Please pray that these precious children will have the desire to learn and do homework and that we that assist them are patient and wise.
Continue to pray for us and our ministry here in Honduras!

Blessings~
Dorian and Karen Guido
