A refrigerator for the house!

One of our long time sponsors just donated a refrigerator for the Chavalo House we're renting.
We take these things for granted, but nobody in the house had ever had a refrigerator in their entire family!

Delivering the refrigerator to the house was the event of the day for the guys, and for all the neighbors.

Just to show you how NOT used they are to even the slightest luxury, when the guys left the house, they unplugged the refrigerator because they thought it might be dangerous to keep it plugged in while nobody was there!

One of the guys put the refrigerator in his bedroom to guard it so that nobody can steal it.
They even put a bolt with padlock on the door which they lock when they go to college or go shopping!

Anyway... it will make their life a lot easier.
No more buying blocks of ice when they want a cool drink.
No more sour milk or mortadela gone bad!



We could use another generous donation to buy a gas stove!
The stove itself is $40 for a two burner tabletop stove.
Plus a gas tank of $25 (the fist time you buy it, thereafter you can swap it for a refilled ($10) one)

You don't have to donate the whole thing... (it would be nice though!)
But, as we all know, every little bit helps. Even if you donate $2 or $5 this would bring us closer!

As always... thank you for everything!
