Hello all,
Well we have started to become more helpful to our partner Aso Fenix. Over the past several weeks we have been putting in a lot of office time (it is not as bad as it sounds). We have be helping Aso Fenix get more organized and be able to present itself better. Until recently, Aso Fenix, has just been really one person, Jamie, managing and working on a bunch of projects. Well the number of projects has been increasing and so has funding to do more projects, so it is time to grow. Unfortunately, most donors only provide funding for projects and not for helping the organization grow to meet these new demands. However, Aso Fenix has received a sizable donation from a group in the Netherlands to help it grow. So we have been working on many things. We have designed a webpage, made brochures for different programs, and other types of media to promote Aso Fenix. It has been fun and also given us something to invest ourselves into. We also are working with engineering inters that come down from 2 months to a year to help with projects. We are trying to organize the program by contacting them before they come down to answer questions, giving them an orientation, and trying not to be their mom and dad... So, what all this means, is that we have not be out in Bramadero for more than a month. But we do plan to get back there soon and have started thinking about projects to do. We do miss the country life, but it is the kids we miss most. But we have learned long ago to be flexible and open for what God has for you in His time.
