This past June I participated in a music Camp that took place here in Guatemala. Twenty-two of our kids from CB who are in the band program, got sponsored to assist the camp. I must admit I was reluctant to go (it meant being away from my darling husband and life at CB for almost 10 days). David encouraged me to go saying that it would be a great opportunity for me to reach out to the kids by being a counselor at the camp.
At the end of the week, I was able to reflect on how blessed I was to have been a part of this camp that impacted the lives of our kids on a spiritual level.

Throughout these summer months we have seen team after team come down and pour out time, money, sweat and tears here at CB. It amazes me how God, year after year, moves so many hearts to come and serve, showing God's love to all of us here at the orphanage.
I was personally refreshed when family and friends from my church in New Orleans came to visit just this past week. It brought back so many memories of the first two times I came as a single woman with our team; remembering the special feeling I always got coming through the entrance of beautiful CB on that big yellow bus.

My friend Abii and I continue to teach our little chickadees. Since the beginning of the year, some of the kids have left and we have received new ones. Our school year has been so fun and a big learning process for me. We will be teaching classes until the end of October.
Four new Chickadees since the beginning of the school year!
