CHILDREN'S SHELTER OF CEBU

Our new children will be making a HUGE transition in a number of weeks as they move to the US. Three years ago, they had to make another big transition to the Children's Shelter of Cebu. As I think about the environment that they have lived in these last few years, I am SO grateful that they have been in such a loving and supportive place. When our family visited CSC in January, we saw a place where children are nurtured and challenged to become everything God created them to be. I can try tell you what a wonderful place this is...but it might be better for you to look at the shelter's webpage. It is a very special place to us and I think it will give you a good idea of what it is all about. The website is www.cscshelter.org.

As you enter the website, there will be pictures of kids that fade in and out. You will notice a boy with goggles and a red swim cap who looks kind of silly. That's our Romeo! It's a great pic of him.

There are a lot of things you can look at on this website but if you don't have a hour or so to kill, click on the video titled THE ROAD TO CSC or A DAY IN THE LIFE. These videos are about 5-7 minutes long and will give you a nice glimpse into what CSC is all about.

Lastly, there are some videos of a recent talent show. Click on the one with Roselyn's name on it. You can see her singing!

I can't say enough wonderful things about CSC! I am so appreciative of their ministry to orphaned children. I hope you get a chance to check it out.
