My new project...beautiful changes

Hello to you all,
It has been a very long time !!!!! My weblog did not work well as I had some internet problems.
It has been busy, a lot of changes but I feel very good.

I would like to tell you about my new project. Since October I have been having a teen(er) boy in my house as he had no good place to stay.
During this time I noticed that there are a lot of teen(er) boys with bad house situations. Parents do not want to take care of them, the family does not do anything and they have to take care of theirself.
They can't have full time jobs as they did not finish school. It is very important that they first finish high school before they can be independent.

Luckily with help of my Dutch friend and an overseas foundation/organization we were able to send 5 teen(er) boys back to school. They are doing grade 11 which means only two more years. This has been very difficult as they are already "too old" to go back to school. But now they are very happy to have this change and the school was happy to have them.

Now the next step is providing, for some of them, a family house situation. Without a good family house situation it will be a big challenge to finish school. I decided with a friend (she lived here already for 4 years) to rent a bigger house where we can have in total 6 boys. We know the boys already and they are very happy to come and live with us. Although they know that we will have some rules. We will have to do it by steps. We will take them one by one to see how it goes. The first teen(er) boy is already living in the house and is doing very well.
Of course financially it will be a big challenge. 6 teen(er) boys is a challenge...but we are willing to give it a try because they deserve it.......of course we can not do this on our own so we would like to ask our friends and family for financial support.

The things we need to buy before more boys come in to the house:
1 Big Fridge 250€
4 Curtains 85€
3 Bunk beds 450€
12 Towels 40€
12 Sheets 70€
12 Bed Covers 100€

We have already furniture and kitchen supplies as we are using our stuff together.

Then we will have every month fixed cost:
Rent 500€
Water Electricity 100€ and some irregular costs (estimated) per month
Grossery 400€
clothing 25€ (will be safed)
medical 30€ (will be safed)
We would like to know if you can help us out with a monthly support ........or an onetime amount. Everything is welcome and with your help we can make it work.
Please if you are interested to help us out send me an email and I will give you the bank details.

Your help is very much appreciated,
