Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights

of all who are destitute.  Speak up and judge fairly.

Defend the rights of the poor and needy.  

Proverbs 31: 8-9

Jennifer is a wonderful and beautiful addition to our family. I got a call from a Pastor, from Macus, who is affiliated with my church here in Puyo. He told me of a family mourning the loss of their mother — 3 older brothers and a sister. The sister, Jennifer, She would come and play with their daughter. Her father works hard to care for his family but was afraid for his young daughter who was alone much of the time. Well, Jennifer came to live here at Casa de Fe. She loves to help with the little ones. She is 9 years old and in the 5^th grade and after only one month in school, she was already voted by her class mates to represent her class. Those of you who have girls you will understand the problems of having more than 2 girls. We have 5 girls in that age group and we have had our ups and downs in the last few months. Someone always seems to be mad at someone else. Jenny has become the self-proclaimed arbitrator. She steps in whenever there is a problem and she is a natural. I love having her around.
