November 1, 2006 Antigua, Guatemala

A special message of thanks from Andrew & Rebecca Loveall

All of us at the ESCUELA INTEGRADA DE LOS NIÑOS TRABAJADORES (Integrated School for Working Children) wish to thank you for you prayers and support during the 2006 school year. We are now completed with this year's regular classes and will focus on the tutoring of special needs children during the month of November.

This project, which comprises of two schools as well as student sponsorships in other Guatemalan schools, would now exist but for the care of its primary supporters -- you -- those in the United States that make so much possible for these kids.

It isn't easy to take kids off the street -- kids who would otherwise be shining shoes, selling table runners and other textiles to tourists, and being involved in all sorts of crime and abuse situation -- and give them the hope that comes through an education. You and your involvement through prayer, gifts, financial support, letters and notes -- help make all this possible.

Over 300 children and teenagers participated in Escuela Integrada schools and programs during 2006. Over 59,000 hot, nutritious lunches (and light breakfasts) have been served this year. Over 350 family members have received free medical treatment and medicine. Many children have received the benefit of counseling as they learn to cope with past abuse and maltreatment. Every child and teenager has received solid teaching from the Bible.

Your support changes lives -- many lives -- and we can't say enough to thank all of you.

Blessings Andrew & Rebecca Loveall
