Five of our boys started school today. We have enrolled them in a private Bilingual school that's here on the mountain. They will spend the next six months catching up to their grade level in their English. Most of these boys understand a lot of English already, so it shouldn't be too hard for them. :) So this morning we were up at 5 getting them up and ready, breakfast, and getting ourselves showered to have them at the school by 7:30. They were done at 11:30 today because they are all in the kinder class learning that level english. Once they finish that level they will move to first then second grade, etc. Then by the fall they will be ready to start on their grade level with all their classes. They absolutely LOVED it today! As soon as they got in the car they couldn't wait to show us everything they had done. It was cute. And they all look absolutely adorable in their little uniforms. But, we need your help! For each child to attend this school its about $125 per child per month, which isn't bad considering its a private bilingual school. So if we can get 5 people per child to commit to sponsoring them for a year we will have their schooling paid for. That's the equivalent of filling your M&M tube up twice a month. ;) This is a HUGE opportunity for these boys. If they graduate from this school they will have much higher chances of ever getting to attend college and the education is on a much higher standard than the public schools many kids attend on the mountains where the teachers might show up 2 or 3 days a week. The education they will receive at this school will give them a brighter future. Being bilingual is a huge deal here, it provides for more job opportunities that allow you to support your family. We all want the best for these sweet little guys and they are so excited about this opportunity! We keep reminding them to work hard on their studies because God is blessing them with such a great opportunity with this. So if any of you are able and willing, we need your help to continue sending these little ones to school. Let me know if you are able to help, or if you know of anyone who might be able to! And thank you in advance for all your help, and thank you from some little guys who will be forever grateful.
