So Many Visitors ... So Much Fun!




Yeah! It's a Real Pool!
We had a team of short term missionaries with us from the US, and before they left, they took the children swimming at a nearby resort. Needless to say, everyone enjoyed the water!











Summer Time!

During the summer months, the heat can become unbearable. So the staff at RCH are good at improvising ways for the children to stay cool ... connect the water hose to the outdoor slide ..... and .....
















... PRESTO! The children have a water slide!













Playtime with Visitors.

We were fortunate to have students from the University of the Philippines come in and take the time to just be with our children. The attention and nurture that this provides these babies until they either return to their birth families or go to new homes is crucial in the development of their little lives.





Visiting US Missionaries

For two weeks in mid march, three families from Montana, in the US, selflessly gave their time and love to our home by working on the facilities and spending time with the children.









A BIG Day!

On the 17th of March, RCH hosted representatives from the Barangay Council, local police station and area military personnel, along with AHMOP Board Members and missionary visitors. The goal of this time together was to continue developing relationships with the local officials and inform them of the benefits to the community from the expansion project.

Some special moments in February



Singing with actions . . .
The twins were now confident to show case their talents . . .




The Rehoboth "walk" . . .
Every afternoon, the kids are getting used of their exercise walk outside the Rehoboth compound. They love to see and explore the nearby fields !


Happy Valentines . . .
This was taken during the Preschool Valentines Program. These kids were all loved so they are also eager to show their love and affection to others!










Happy Story . . .
Jerick and his “forever family” met for the first time on February 16, 2009. Rehoboth will terribly miss Jerick, but we are so glad that he is now with his loving family.












Outdoor Fun. . .
Preschool kids are having fun looking at the scenery around the Rehoboth compound . . . Trying to glimpse if there are some smoke form the nearby factory that can make the air dirty! (Thank goodness there wasn't any!).










Enjoying the Ice Popsicles . . .
It is starting to get hot now . . . kids are having a good time eating the cold popsicles during the hot weather!














Confident . . .
Kids are more eager now to show what they can to their audience. These boys are showing how proud they are by applauding.
