(cont) This is encouraged so that the relatives do not forget the children and it will encourage bond-ing. Each case is different and varying of course. A lot of the chil-dren have no relatives at all, therefore there are no visitors. This is where we try to get as much involvement going on with the child’s sponsor. Not having visitors does not seem to be too much of a problem for the children. I guess they have been through a lot of separation in their lives that visiting does not mean much to them. The Gecko’s Safari (Aust) has trucks with campers coming almost every week to camp at the EAMO camp-site. These campers seem to fill a huge gap with our kids. Both the passengers and the kids just love it all. The passengers eat, play soccer, put the kids to bed, tell them stories etc. The kids just cant wait for every truck to come. So overall, the kids are not lonely at all and are honestly very happy, even though they are orphaned and separated from their families.

These children were so used to not getting regular meals they just want to put some away for later. Most of us cannot relate to that can we!
A recent visitor introduced us to Facebook. For those of you who do not know of it, it's a simple website that allows you to be in contact with a huge amount of friends, and friends of your friends. So it is great for advertising too. But the best thing is you can put many pictures and even video footage on this site, and then send the “link” to anyone that may want to see photos of you or what you do.

How can you help?
Someone said to me once,
“how is the best way to help you”

I told him that by far the best way is for you to sign up to sponsor a child for only $30 USD per month. This way we know what income we have each month. This makes it possible for us to run by a budget. So if you have some family or friends or workmates that may be interested in sponsoring, just show them our website, or request from us some flyers and hand them out. This really helps us. Please remember, EAMO is all about helping children, we do our physical work here, and you can help us do that by either supporting us, or talking to someone else about supporting us.
Old story!
An old but interesting and funny story is of the first morning Jane, Rachel and Sara had breakfast with us in our own dining room at EAMO. May had dished up some porridge with some sultana’s for all of us. Well, it was the funniest thing to see Rachel actually spitting the sultana’s out on the floor, thinking them to be rocks or something. Then Sara was grabbing handfuls out of the bowl when we were not watching and stuffing it in her pockets. It was a site to see with sultana’s all over the floor and porridge dripping out of Sara’s pockets.

Q&A: Do the children have visitors?
Not all children have visitors. In fact less than half do. There are only a maximum of 20 children that have visitors on a regular basis. Some people believe in visiting often, while others think they should not be disturbed by family too often. All relatives know that Sunday is open day at EAMO. When the school holidays start, we arrange for a number of the children to go and visit relatives and stay with them. (cont)

Apologies to our Sponsors
Recently we have received some friendly complaint emails about us not being in touch with our sponsors often enough. We are truly sorry for this, but please understand that the EAMO sponsorship program has become huge and us not having expensive computer programs to keep it all flowing smoothly and having everything done on a volunteer basis we realize the lack we have. We are currently re-arranging as much as we can to give a better service to all sponsors. Running the orphanage on a day to day basis is big enough, let alone handling the correspon-dence. Please bare with us as we organize ourselves a bit better with the resources we have at hand. Apologies again.
