After two months of anxious waiting Emmanuel's children are able to start a new school year. Read more about changes at High and Middle School on http://orphanageemmanuel.shutterfly.com/news/194 or in the School Section on the bottom of this page.

A few years ago we began a Christmas ministry at the orphanage.  Every year, the kids collect money and items from amongst themselves.  A group of 20 older ones organize the donations of clothing, toys, and knick knacks, and prepare gift packages to give out in the poorer areas of town.  On Christmas day we went to several poor neighborhoods here in Guaimaca, and the kids gave gift packages and food packages to 60 families.  It was a great experience for the orphanage children to see how some folks live, and it was a great opportunity for the children to give.  In addition, this year the orphanage children also made a trip to the capital.  We visited the children's ward at the large state run hospital and gave out toys to over 60 kids.

Orphanage Emmanuel has celebrated the send-off of the first group of young adult women from the Transition House!  This group has helped paved the way for future youth of Emmanuel.  Currently, a group of young men are preparing to move to the Transition House in January 2010.

To everyone's great excitement, Emmanuel received their March container on Thursday, April 2nd around 5:30pm. Many of Emmanuel's staff and volunteers come together on the evening when a container is received. It is a very exciting experience to be involved with and unpacking of a container--it is much like opening gifts on Christmas morning. All of the containers received have some sort of stuffed animal that greets those who open the container; this container had a Christmas bear.

Containers generally are sent an average of 12 times a year from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Dr. Don Reynolds and Richard Williford--as well as Red Bank Baptist Church members and other people from various churches in Tennessee--volunteer their time to load and send off the containers every month. A few containers a year often come from various churches in Auburn, Alabama as well. The containers are usually packed with rice, beans, cereal, clothes, Moon Pies, construction materials, and care packages for the children, volunteers and staff.

If you would like to be involved with the packing of a container or if you would like to contribute to what is sent to Emmanuel, please visit Emmanuel's Facebook page for information. When sending a package, address it to the person to whom you are sending it to and add C/O Dr. Don Reynolds. Finally, sent it to the following address: 4611 Hixon Pike, Hixon, Tennessee 37343.
