It
has been a busy summer for Agnes, George, Daniel and Jennie.
George
attended ETHS summer school for six weeks and then participated in the Y
Achievers Program through the McGraw YMCA Evanston. The program provides tutors
from Northwestern University, social worker interns from the University of
Chicago and community volunteers to a ensure successful high school and
continuing academic or vocational education. George is entering ETHS this fall
as a sophomore.

| Jennie, Daniel and George |
Daniel
and Jennie attended summer school at Nichols Middle School Evanston and, in the
afternoon, attended a free summer day camp where they went on weekly field
trips. They auditioned for the Evanston Children’s Choir, they will begin
rehearsals in the fall. Daniel will enter 8th grade and Jennie will
enter 6th.
Agnes
continues her work in housekeeping at Evanston Hospital in the
afternoon/evening shift. We are working to get her changed to the morning shift
so that she can be with the children in the evening. Agnes completed the
paperwork required to obtain a green card and we took them to be fingerprinted.
Agnes should receive her green card in a few months.

| Agnes and her family! |
Agnes
and her family celebrated their first 4th of July fireworks … a
joyful celebration for them. We took them on field trips to swimming pools and
Six Flags. They went to a dentist and an optometrist. George and Jennie were
fitted with glasses. We had their bikes repaired and bought them new backpacks
and school supplies. Their backpacks are packed and they are excited for their
first day of school!
Occasionally we needs supplies for our family so check back here to see what they may need. Can't wait to see what the year brings
