June Update

This month I got to learn about the women who love on and care for Kimberlie on a daily basis, her nannies. Her nannies names are Maki and Mona. These amazing women are Kimberlie's mommies until she comes home , I hope to be able to thank them personally when I pick her up to come home. 

This month I would like to introduce you to the amazing women who care for your children on a daily basis.  Their nannies!  These women are there for them throughout the entire day.  These women spend more time with the children than anyone else.  From  morning to evening, their days are spent feeding, changing, comforting, encouraging, playing with, and meeting the children’s needs.  What our volunteers do is very valuable and necessary but we could not provide the level of care we do for these kids without our Haitian nannies.  I would like to give you the opportunity to get to know Kimberlie’s nannies a little bit so below you will find some info about each of the nannies that are currently assigned to her.  Each lady works four days on and then they get two days off.  In our main nursery the nannies sleep right in the room with the kids so they are able to be there for them if they need something in the night.  Each of these kids has two primary nannies that tend specifically to them. The smaller nurseries are staff by night nannies and nurses for nightly feedings and wake-up calls.  The kids who live in these nurseries are cared for by three primary nannies that are assigned to the specific room.  There is at least two nannies in these rooms at any given time.  Kimberlie has lived in each of the nurseries throughout her life here at GLA.    It is amazing to see the love these ladies have for each of the children in their care.  We want you to know and value the love and care Kimberlie receives from her nannies on a daily basis. 

These are pictures of Kimberlie with her volunteer and some gifts  I sent to her last month. 

ADOPTION UPDATE:  I am still waiting for Kimberlie's passport. To be completely honest, I have been really discouraged the last few weeks. I really thought Kimberlie would be much closer to coming home by this time of the summer. 

Please pray with me that Kimberlie will be home before her second birthday in September.
