Outside children will be invited to enroll in free academy for Breath of Heaven orphans in Watamu

The orphans at Breath of Heaven Children's Home are aged 1 to 13 years old.  Some were taken in from conditions where they had no home, or from overcrowding,  and were just "sleeping in the dust."
They have zero toys, no books, not even their own soccer ball, unlike some of our own children here in America.
They are bright and smiling, helpful and kind. They do the chores. Carry water, gather wood for cooking, wash their clothes, shower from a plastic tub, look after the younger ones...  They worship the Lord every day at 7:00 a.m. and in the evening in services called "Morning Glory" and "Evening Glory" in the sanctuary of the compound.  They sing and dance, kneel and raise their hands unto the Lord, and really know how to pray.
They are excited about having their own school.  They have a chalkboard, but no chalk.
There is a box of school supplies that Athena (USA Director of Fundraising) lovingly purchased from the Dollar Tree for $50....an assortment of mostly books, children's encyclopedias on Nature, History, and Space, beginning readers, children's prayer books, bible stories, CDs, pencils, one box of crayons, one palette of watercolor paints, a bar of soap ....to share.  The cost of shipping to Kenya costs more than the supplies and may take 6 weeks to arrive.
There is so much anticipation!.........A teacher has been engaged...a member of the Church, Madame Agness, who is 25.  She will be paid by those who can, with small gifts like a bottle of lotion.  Outside children will be invited to enroll.  Without money for tuition, the other orphanage schools are hopelessly out of reach.
But this school already has a logo, a badge.  The colorful shield reads:  LOGOS CHOSEN ACADEMY, Est. 2012, (the date the orphanage began), Watamu, Kenya.  Divided into 4 parts, the first is a Holy Bible, the second is a flock of butterflies (representing the Breath of Heaven children's home), the 3rd is of children playing soccer, and the 4th, the tongues of fire representing the Holy Spirit and the ability to preach the gospel in other languages, all over the world.
Can you help these bright children not to have to wait another day for their school to open? We don't need $10,000, or $1,000, we only need.....$100!.......$10 for the regulation Wilson traditional soccer ball, and $75 for postage, and $15 for lunches (each child's share is 20 cents per day).  This sum will last a long time.
Every penny of school donations goes directly to these needs. Please give $1, or $3, $5, $10, $15, $25, $30, $50, $75, or $100.  TELL us what you want your gift to do.  And it will be so!  The children of Breath of Heaven Children's Home thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!God bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!
