Lynn Dittmar (formally Burggraf) and I made a quick trip to Chihuahua to hand out scarves.{{30464}}
Many churches and friends sent scarves to be handed out to Orphanages and to those who need them.
Because of the hot weather, we did not feel the children would appreciate the scarves. Thus we changed plans and handed out only few to one orphanage and left the rest for the future when it is colder.
Lynn and I joined the English Church to put on a party for the orphans at Jeruel. Lynn and I prepared the food for the event. {{30463}} Sharon Steadman had planned to set up a Christmas Tree for the kids and take pictures for a future gift. She thought the scarves would help make it a wintery picture. {{30450}}
The children enjoyed the meal with their scarves as well as sing songs afterwards. It was fun for us all.{{30452}}
In the future, the highschool kids would like to hand out some of the scarves to the Tribal people who make bricks in the brick yard. Other gals wanted to take them to other orphanages. What is left will be handed out next year to other orphanages. There is always a need for scarves as the weather is cold in the winter.
