Moved for All Nations

At the moment we have three big projects for our house that we want to share with all of you.

Central heating: The temperature in Guiyang will probably not go under -5 degrees Celsius, but because of the high humidity here the temperature feels really cold. Especially because your clothes don't really dry completely. Since we have some severely handicapped children, that only can lay still, we really are in need of heating.
We don't get enough money to heat our home with electric heaters, since electricity is very expensive here.
There is a company here that can put central heating in our house. They first calculated a price of 63.355 RMB, which is at this moment
US$ 9,290.--, or € 7.310,--. But as they saw we are taking care of orphans, they immediately lowered their price to 41.180 RMB., which is at this moment US$ 6,036.-- or € 4.750,--.

New gate: Here in China a lot of children get stolen. So at this moment we don't let the children play in the front of the house, because everyone could come in this place easily and take one of our children away. The gate we have now is also very weak because it is worn out completely. This causes lots of stress, because when we are all busy, sometimes children just go there, although they know they are not allowed (children are just children everywhere). We will have to replace the gate, but we also will higher the walls with the same material as the gate, so that people just can't jump over the wall anymore. We would like to have the new gate made of material that you can't see through. Complete costs of gate-door, fence next to the gate, and the fence on the walls at the side of the house: 20.000 RMB, which is at the moment 2,932.-- US$ and € 2.307,--.

Bathroom: At this moment we have a small plastic baby bathtub. In this we have to wash all the children, including Joseph, who is almost 6 years old and very severely handicapped. He, as the other children with cerebral palsy really are in need of a normal bath. We also would like to put a toilet in the bathroom, since we only have a squatty potty there right now. This is also easier for the handicapped children. This bath is also very inconvenient for the nannies, because the bath can't be on a standard because of the weight of Joseph, so the nannies have to wash the children on their knees, or bended over, which is very bad for their backs.
Total cost bathroom (bath plus toilet) is about 15.000 RMB, which is US$ 2,200.-- or € 1.730,--.

We understand that it is impossible for people to realize this by themselves, but every amount helps, and all the amounts together will be a big help. Maybe it is also possible to save money for one of these projects as a group of people.

If you make a donation by paypal, the money arrives at the ngo we are connected to, Moved for all Nations, and you will receive a letter that they have received your gift. We will receive the gifts monthly from them and receive a specification from them as well, so we will know who donated the money.

We are happy to tell you that Nora has 1 rainbowsponsor, David has 1 rainbowsponsor, Boaz has 3 rainbowsponsors, Jonathan has 1 rainbowsponsor, Joseph has 7 rainbowsponsors, and Sarah also has 7 rainbowsponsors.

To take care of the children we need 7 rainbowsponsors for every child.

At this moment we are very happy to tell you that Sarah and Joseph have all the sponsors needed!!!

Boaz is still in need of 4 sponsors

Jonathan is still in need of 6 sponsors

Nora is still in need of 6 sponsors

David is still in need of 6 sponsors.

Ruth, Enoch and Mikey don't have any sponsors yet, so they still need 7 sponsors each.

We want to thank all the rainbowsponsors we have at this moment. Thank you for helping to make a difference to these children. We can't do this work without your help!!

We hope all the children will be covered soon with rainbowsponsors.

If you want to become one of our rainbowsponsors, please look in "what you can do".

Enoch will not go to America, but Canada. The people here thought that this was the same, but this week we received a package for Enoch of his new parents, and it became clear that his new country will be Canada.

He loves the pictures of his new family that were included in the package as well as a toy car. We copied the picture of his new family and put it next to his bed, so now he can say night night to his new family as well as he goes to bed. It is amazing that he is still shy if strangers come to our home, but that he so loves the people in this picture. They get a big smile every time he sees them. We just know God made the perfect match again!!!

Boaz and Ruth won't go to Xi'an to have their operation. The hospital in Xi'an refused the team that was coming from America.

We are looking now for a good doctor here in Guiyang that can do the operations.
