Easter Egg Tally 2014

Well, Super Mom Helen Sowards and her team of angelic assistants have done it again.  The crew at Made With Love Home Bakery made over 1,200 decadent chocolate-covered eggs this Spring.  They also received donations for more than half of the materials needed to make these Easter treats.


The total donated to SYI by Made With Love Home Bakery is over $5000! 
THANK YOU!!! 

Dorm Progress

The boys dormitory at PASK is coming along nicely.  They have already started to use portions of the building and have put in a few bunk beds. I have requested photos of the interior and will post them as soon as I can.

The exterior of the main building has its first coat of white paint. 



The attached kitchen is nearing completion. 




The good folks at PASK anticipate the dorm to be finished (inside and out) by the end of the month. They are planning a small party to thank the workers who built the dorm for a job well done, and to commemorate first communion for two of the children living at PASK.   I can’t wait to see pictures of all the children dressed in their traditional Sumbanese outfits for the celebration!

Operation Dorm Thank you gifts
I am putting together a photo book documenting the progress of the dorm at PASK  and will be sending one to all donors who gave more than $500 towards Operation Dorm.  I am happy to send photo books to anyone else who would like to have one for $25 + shipping.  I am planning to order copies of the books in early July and ship mid – late July. If interested, please email sumbayouthinitiative@gmail.com and let me know how many copies you would like.
