Pictured here is Raymond, his mom and dad and younger brother and sister. His other brother and sisters were not at home yet. We spoke with Raymond’s parents and they agreed to help make sure that Raymond and the other children give their best effort in school. We agreed that it is not easy, but they must try and help the kids with school and we will do our best to help. I have seen for myself the dire situation they are in and it is a very difficult situation.

They live in a very small wood shingle home and cook outside on charcoal. This is also why some of them go to their grandmother’s house to sleep, even though her house is also very small. I am lining up a tutor to help Raymond and his siblings during the school year. We are also in the process of having a table built for them to complete their homework. Before we leave for home we will go again and make a list of some things they need to better care for the children.

Our goal is $500.00. This will be a start so we can buy some rice and fish to give out. We’re already running late as Christmas is about six weeks away. This afternoon I worked on a handout to post in the local stores. spcscwk-wp.pdf

I also signed up for a Paypal account, but this will not be completed for a few more days. Yesterday and today I went around and asked some stores if I could solicit in front of their store and they all said no, except Walmart. Walmart said I could, but I need to come back and fill out some paperwork. They also said that there are no days available this year as the Salvation Army has it locked up till the end of the year. I’ll go back and try to get some days for next year. Till next time…

Update: We got the Paypal working. I went back to Walmart and they said no.
