Departures, Arrivals and Other Bits and Pieces From July

July was a nice busy month at Ruel. We said goodbye to eight volunteers.

Katie, Tori and Tonya from Nehemiah Teams in the US. They were with us from the start of June until the end of July

 

This is Katri from Finland. She was with us for all of May, June and July

Four members of the same amazing family: Melissa, Tyler, Erica and Derick from the US.

Their departure means that for the first time in six months, Kuya David is the only international volunteer currently serving at Ruel. We also welcomed three more children to Ruel during July, bringing our total number of children to 33:

1 year-old Baby Boy J

3 year-old Little Miss E

5 year-old Little Miss J

The Ruel staff went 'back to school,' with an afternoon seminar relating to "Attachment". It was very informative and useful. 

In the middle of July, the Philippines was visited by "Typhoon Glenda." Thankfully Calapan didn't seem to be too badly affected. We had a couple of trees down, some flooding on the roads and the power was out overnight.

There's also been some more action on our YouTube channel, with the school kids busy singing and acting for your enjoyment. Six new videos were added yesterday, with seven more on the way. Please visit https://www.youtube.com/user/ruelfoundation2014
