Holland House Orphanage and Day Care for kids in povery-the cutest little kids on the planet

Once again I have about 5 posts to catch up on!  It was so wonderful to be back at the Holland House.  These children melt your heart, mostly wanting to just be held and get personal attention.  I love watching our kids when we visit here.  It is so natural for them to scoop up these children and love them to pieces.

This little one has THE BEST smile and giggle. Love her.

Once there was a snowman, snowman...they laughed so hard at this song

the aftermath and lots of bubble spills later

After we played we fed them.  They always put their hands together and say "Kupenka."  I am going to implement this at my home.  Whenever I do anything for my kids they need to bow their head, put their hands together and say thank you :)

Don't you just love that Charlotte is feeding a little guy her own age :)

These children are so well behaved.  They all know to sit in lines, clear their dish, and then get in line for teeth brushing, shower, and nap.  The order they have here is incredible.  (The children do get hit with a little rod if they do something they aren't supposed to. I've never seen it, but the volunteer there has)
Next are the showers...

Dishes :)

The kids brush their teeth, shower, and go to the bathroom all in the shower.  It is so darn cute watching all of them in there.

They put baby powder on their faces to help with sweat

Now nap time...

Sleep tight little ones!

Every time we leave the Holland House we understand even clearer why the Savior always gathered the children around Him.  They are so innocent. so naturally loving and forgiving.  Their hearts are pure.  They are submissive.  They are joyous even though their circumstances are less than ideal.  It has been such a honor to spend time with these little ones.  They have taught me to love unconditionally and open my arms to new people.  I hope by the end of my lifetime I will be closer to "becoming as a little child."

We have raised $670-only 33 more people need to donate $10!

Dear friends,
     We are so close to our goal!  Are there 33 people out there who can donate $10?  Don't forget, there are blessings that come to those who give! :)

www.homelifethailand.com  they have a paypal account -- Let's get her done!

$10 X 100 people in 24 hours- We are in need of a donation!

Dear friends,
    We are slowly approaching the opening of the restaurant for the Home&Life Orphanage! We are so happy for them.  We are all working hard to get it finished for Monday-(that would be Sunday for all of you!)  It is going to be a big deal with political leaders and many people from surrounding areas coming for the grand opening.  The girls will dress up and do their Thai dancing and the boys will do their Thai boxing!  It will be a really neat day.  We have bought lots of food, supplies, and a new espresso machine for them.  But...we need your help!
     We are in need of one more thing for them.  Their commercial coffee maker that they have used at their bakery for years just broke.  Perfect timing :)  They have tried to fix it and it works for a bit, but then it just breaks down again.  A new one is about $1000.  With your help I think we could raise the money in the next 2 days and have it before they open on Monday!  It is imperative that they have this for their restaurant as it is one of the main things ordered here.
      As I was in bed this morning I was trying to think of a way that this could be done in such short notice.  What if 100 people donate $10 in 24 hours?  We could get it done!! This is a great organization to donate to as they are really trying to be self-sufficient.  A man named Albert from Holland has been with Root and Rosa helping this orphanage survive since it's opening after the tsunami.  He has done fund raisers and sought out donors to make this restaurant happen.  One man making a huge difference for a worthy cause. I love it.  Let's all do this one last thing to help them be successful!
       If you are reading this, can you PLEASE re-post this on your blog to get the word out?  I also posted this on FB so you can copy it to your wall.  To make the donation go to www.homelifethailand.com   They have a paypal account there.  Put down that the donation is for the new coffee maker.   I will let you know when we reach our goal!  Thank you in advance for helping out!!

They will be doing Thai dancing and boxing at the opening!
