Book Dedication

It is good to be back in Taraz! We arrived on the train this morning at 3:30. I am a little tired from the travel, but I think I'll be back to normal tomorrow. While I was gone, a lot of different activities happened. You can check them out on the Interlink Blog. One of those activities was the dedication of a book that we helped Saramoldaeva orphanage print in December. Here is an excerpt that I think shows the importance of what we do with the children.

“Our Interlink” kindly reminds the children about their sponsors. Sara Coggins always comes to visit the children with other employees. The employees of Interlink are always desirable guests for the children. The children spend time playing and talking to Americans. Two girls were happily learning English with Zina Omarova. Sara is always kind and affable to the children. Her kind smile is always shining. They have done a lot of things for the children that make the children feel comfortable and cozy. The company bought a computer with a printer and a computer desk for the orphanage. The children were very happy when the employees of Interlink came before the start of the school year to congratulate them on a new school year and wish them good studies. They also came to the orphanage and brought an oval table and chairs for all the girls, a microwave oven, and a television stand. Everyone knows that it’s hard to be without hot water in the Spring and Fall, so to help with this situation, the employees of Interlink bought a hot water heater and a washing machine. The children were ready to go to school thanks to the help of Interlink Resources, Inc. Teachers from the 18th group said that in summer Interlink completed repairs. Now it is comfortable. Sara often comes to the orphanage. For New Years the girls were given dresses, toys, and video and audio players by Interlink Resources. Sara has also given a lot of pictures. The children say, “We are thankful to our sponsors.” Every month this company organizes a birthday party for the children, where they give presents, candy, and more.
