This has been a BIG week for the kids here at NPH! In addition to it being the last week of classes, NPH’s very own orquestina left yesterday for a whirlwind 3 week tour in the United States! After weeks and MONTHS of planning – receiving passports and visas for all of the 20 or so kids, buying plane tickets, and mentally preparing, I don’t think anyone can believe that they’re actually gone! The kids left yesterday around midnight to catch their 5 am flight to Minnesota. While in the US they will split their time between Minnesota and Wisconsin, a trip that has been organized with help from our fundraising office in the States.
While there, the kids will be performing at churches, giving concerts, and having a special “Friends of the Orphans” Fundraiser to raise money for the home. It is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the kids and we wish them all the best of luck while they’re there!
