Some of you may know but I am sure most don’t, Jane and I have sponsored a family in one of the villages we have built. This is a family of six children and even though the Dad (Confesor)isn’t in the photo he does his best in supporting the family. Over the past couple of months we have been working with the local authorities in getting birth certificates for the six children (after trip #5 to Puerto Plata we still haven’t got them). Since they are a Dominican family this is in one sense much easier than trying to get birth certificates for Haitians. (Getting Haitian birth certificates is almost impossible) With birth certificates the children will be able to go to high school and college/university. They are Juana Polanco Rodriguez (mom), Adan 14, Beyarleny 10, Jeremy 9, Neroliza 7, Yendri 3 and Leidy 6 months. All the children are bright, intelligent, well behaved and just sweethearts (sounds like our own children) and so for us, though it’s a pile of work and unbelievably political, it is well worth it. We love them!!
