IOU Bolivia: September 2010
http://ioubolivia.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. Introducing IOU's Newest Teammate. After nine months of family and friends praying for a fast delivery, our prayers were definitely answered. At nine o’clock pm on September 21st we were eating ice cream. At 11 o’clock we called the doctor. At 11:30 I was 3cm dilated. At 12:30 we were heading to the delivery room and at 1:35 am on September 22nd, after two pushes, Miles Michael Ellis was born. The hardest reality to deal with is that Braeden and I can love our new son so muc...

IOU Bolivia: San Lorenzo August Update
http://ioubolivia.blogspot.com/2010/09/san-lorenzo-august-update.html
Friday, September 10, 2010. San Lorenzo August Update. Braeden, Tiffany, Aldo, Wendy and I went to present some sports equipment to. They’ve been so good to us in accepting new children in them middle of the school year. Then we stopped at the orphanage and said “Hola” and encouraged the house parents. Moses, 11 yrs old, asked if he could fix the flat tire on the bike. He’s waited two weeks for permission. I’ve got to re-affirm that everything in the house is his to use and enjoy. We were able to fly to.

IOU Bolivia: April 2010
http://ioubolivia.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 7, 2010. I was glad to escape wet, miserable and cold England and arrive in this nice, sunny weather! After we fed the babies and toddlers we got the Trufi (Bolivian transport) to the centre of town, the traffic was hectic! Easter Day, Sunday, was the local election day and all means of transport was forbidden so Annie and I had to cycle down to Church which wasn't too bad. We were invited to Easter lunch at the Timmers house which was delicious and very much appreciated.

IOU Bolivia: 35 Cows
http://ioubolivia.blogspot.com/2010/08/35-cows.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. I visited Nemecio last night. We met earlier this year when we needed a piece of property in. To build an orphanage on. He and his family are Christians living here in. However they’re both from, and continue raise cattle in, San Lorenzo one of the most remote sites in. IOU was able to purchase a beautiful 5 acre building site from Nemecio for our next set of homes. When we first met, Nemecio had suggested we raise cattle to support the children. It amazes me to think that a on...

Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Hi its Annie,. I accompanied on the chapare visit and enjoyed it very much. The kids were really sweet and we got to play with them for a while which was nice. The humidity nearly killed me though! Also getting up at 4am to make it there for an 8:30 meeting wasn't something I can say pleased me much! HaI'm not a morning person! Had to be done though. I feel like I'm pretty settled here now and am even going bowling, to the cinema and enjoyed some night life! So many photos were...

Friday, December 24, 2010. Merry christmas from Bolivia! So the past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic, the Ross family arrived and stayed at the Hacienda for a while, we had the christmas babywashing, lost power because of a eucalyptis tree and a wind storm, and broke a tienda´s window playing soccer. Needless to say pretty crazy! I bought a bike the other day in La Concha and have been riding it with the orphans! December 28, 2010 at 5:06 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://ioubolivia.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 31, 2010. Here’s how our last week went. One department of SEDEGES (child welfare) told me that I needed a psychological analysis as the director of IOU (International Orphanage Union) so we could re-new our orphanage license. I went in for my appointment and they said they couldn’t afford to hire a psychologist, could I? Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Monday, January 25, 2010. So yesterday I got to take home to the Hacienda two of the Timmers kittens! Unforunately three of my five ...
