Grant
Awarded by North Alabama Conference of
the United Methodist Church
North
Al. Conf of the United Methodist Church has awarded a grant
for $2500
for the deaf school We will  receive a payment in Feb
and another in June. Hooray! Please pass this on. Also,
we have a new sponsor from our church. He wants to remain
anonymous but he paid one year's sponsorship ($1200). I
think this deaf school will continue to be a success if we
can keep it going on the Honduras end of things. Report

of us met with SIFAT (google SIFAT.com) a couple of weeks ago
and plan to have someone from the Deaf School participate in
a program in the coming year to help develop their sustainability I
know this is a little vague, put will hopefully “flush
out” over the coming year. Nurse
Beth Chatam and Dr. Fred Bess are possibility going to make
a “evaluation
run” with the Guffey’s team in Feb. ’10. Hopefully
this will give us some guidance, direction, and “professionalism” to
the program. Dr.
