Greetings all,<br><br>Two bits of important news:<br><br>1) Thanks to the smart work of Peter, we have reconstructed your student list and we can now distribute student pictures. I will have the pictures with me this Sunday during coffee hour. Feel free to ask me when you see me, as well.
<br><br>Just a heads up, however. Not all of the students were present for picture day, so there are a few kids for whom we do not have pictures.<br><br>2) Only about 1/2 of last years sponsors have renewed for this year. The Khasi school year has already started and we are anxious to have all of the kid's schools fees taken care of. So we ask that if you want to renew for this year, please, Please, PLEASE do so this Sunday.
<br><br>After Sunday we will open the sponsorships to people who did not have a student last year and would like to sponsor a student this year.<br><br>A final piece of good news: thanks to donations and youth fund-raising efforts, we have raised enough funds to support Iahunlang (Ya-hun-lang) the young girl who was recently orphaned and taken in by a neighboring family. These funds will help the family cover the funds needed to raise her.
<br><br>See you Sunday!<br><br>Patrick Malloy<br><br><br>
