ONE.... Updated!

Alright, I admit, that was a short blogging break!
I was checking some of my favorite blogs this morning,
and came across a great deal on these...
My sweet friend, Juli, at Bargain Believer
posted some great school supply deals.
Why does this matter to Kolfe Orphanage?
I am so glad you asked! :o)

Well, the way I count, there are now
around 150-160 of them...

These boys come from Kechene and
Kibebetsehay this boys are children." ~ Emnatu

School starts back up in a September,
and these kids get ONE of everything for the year...
ONE shirt, ONE pair of pants, ONE PENCIL...
How much do your kids get at the start of a school year?
PENCILS are easy to pack, and don't take much room.
This week when you are shopping, and see a pack of
pencils for next to nothing, pick up a couple
of extra packs for the Kolfe Boys.
If you are feeling extra generous, you could
sharpen them for us, if not... my kids work cheap!

A bunch of these erasers would be great, too!
Kristelle has declared the hard erasers on cheap pencils...
"USELESS! Why do they even have them?"
While you are at it, keep your eyes out for these...
SOCCER JERSEYS.
ONE shirt a year isn't much!
Wouldn't it be neat to see lots of boys and young men
in "new to them" soccer jerseys or soccer t-shirts?
Gizachew sent photos this weekend
from their annual "Kolfe Cup".
(Dorm room vs dorm room playing their favorite sport.)

The youngest Kolfe Cup team.
Update: Ah ha!!!
I think I can see why he sent this photo...
I had wondered a bit why Gizachew
chose to send me this photo.
Upon some careful inspection tonight...
there is a 15 year old hiding in this group of littles!
Our Mezgebu!
Can't wait to hug these cuties!

We are kind'a partial to the young man on the left.
That's our Emnatu. :o)
