note to prospective volunteers...

We've been blessed with many, many of you who would like to volunteer in Casa de Amor, Bolivia, the months of May, June, and/or July. Thanks so much for considering spending your vacation changing diapers and wiping noses in a foreign land!

HOWEVER, we are now completely maxed out, with 3-6 volunteers at all times through August. Since the inquiries keep pouring in and I don't like saying no, I've made an update to the website and thought I'd put a note here too, so that recent inquirers can pursue alternate plans.

That said, starting mid-August 2009 we will need two or three more long term volunteers (6-12 month service period), but several great gals have already applied so it's just a matter of weeks before those slots will be filled as well!
Of course, inquiries from families/couples/singles desiring to live here longer (2 years or more) and work as a foster family are still entirely welcome.

Thanks for your understanding!
And what a wonderful problem to have. :-)

What good news! I love reading the personal story of Baby Alex. When time permits (ha ha!), you should do more of those! They remind us that every child is an individual child of God first and an orphan second. Plus, seeing the similarities with my own children, it reminds me that all children are alike in so many ways. Thanks for all that you do!
