Huge Success for our friends, the children at the PV Landfill

We have been overwhelmed at the great success our work at the PV Landfill. Many guests, homeowners and friends have poured out their hearts and wallets to help us support these great kids and their mothers.
As you know we go out each Monday afternoon. We gather food from over five area restaurants and head out to the site. We spend a few hours sharing a meal and "hanging out" with the kids.
We may start a futbol game (soccer), often ending up acting like monkey bars with kids hanging to all limbs. In December Santa came out just before Christmas and the kids had a heyday. Several business owners in the Olas Altas community came together to raise $500 USD for our kids this Chirstmas. We went out and bought about 600 pieces of toys, kids and baby cloths, teen boy and girl type stuff, hygiene and hair care products. We then had enough cash left over to sponsor a child next year and the Olas Altas Business Community is committed to the next four years of continuing this child's education. Santa walked away with two lolly pop stuck to his suite and a very happy smile. That makes two total sponsorships in two months. The awards will be given in February.
We have one homeowner who has even donated 1000 back packs to our project. That is enough for two full years. It is so many we need to have the US Navy bring in the material. Amazing! How awesome it is to know the kind of folks we work with. More importantly the good that is actually changing lives here. It is satisfying to be so involved in this important charitable work.
