Game time for the younger kids! Cheering on the Green team! Even our teachers participated! Helping kids memorize Bible verses. The 8th graders prepared and sang a couple of songs for the kids. Saturday, we helped continue build the wall around the Care Center property. Taking a little break. And we are done!

http://julieannebailey.blogspot.com/2011/06/im-officially-sponsor.html
Sunday, June 19, 2011. I'm Officially a Sponsor! After a long time of thinking about which kid I wanted to sponsor from Anija, I've finally decided who I'm going to sponsor. Please let me know if you would like to sponsor someone with Kids Alive here in the DR and I will get pictures of them before I leave on Friday! June 22, 2011 at 4:33 PM. I tried to comment on this before but it didnt work because I was on the ipad. Anyway, I am SO HAPPY you are sponsoring Karolyn! I miss her big smile!

Life Experiences: December 2010

Friday, December 24, 2010. A few pictures for sponsors :). Thank you to all of you who sponsor kids thru Kids Alive (and for other organizations for that matter) and who sponsor me of course! Every year we have a separate Christmas party for the kids who have sponsors at Anija that don't also live at the Ark. We have about 150 kids who have sponsors. We had lunch together, sang Christmas carols, played a couple of games, and opened presents! Waiting to go into the cafeteria to see what the surprise is.

Saturday, June 11, 2011. From the DR to Arizona. I'm moving back to Arizona. And a little sooner than I expected)! God has graciously opened doors for me to be the 5th grade teacher at Chandler Christian School next year and I am excited! There are so many things running through my mind right now, I'm not sure where to begin. How can you help me during this process? Lastly, I would love to reconnect with all of you who have been so faithful in supporting and praying for me during my time in the Dominican...

Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Katie (another missionary with Kids Alive who also works at Anija), just bought a motorcycle recently and wanted some practice driving so we went on a little outing on our day off on Monday. On our way back into town we stopped by Annerys and Ardennys house, twin girls that go to Anija. Friday, January 21, 2011. Kids Opening Presents on Kings Day. Thought I'd share this video of kids at the Ark opening presents on Kings Day. Time to celebrate birthdays again! Scraps from what...

Thursday, May 26, 2011. Random Pictures of the Week. Here are some random pictures from the week. Enjoy! Since moving into a new house a few weeks ago, I have loved sitting out on the balcony in the mornings and watching the sun rise. Although this is not from the fruit tree we have in our yard, this is a picture of a guanabana. This guanabana is from our yard and this is what the inside of one looks like. I never knew how to eat one of these until a (Dominican) friend showed me. I love happy kids. Durin...

Sunday, August 29, 2010. Update on Construction at Anija. Here's a couple of pictures of Anija's campus. Our new soccer field (almost)! Lots of progress has been made but there's still a few more things to do before the kids can start playing on it. The two classrooms upstairs were finished this summer by work teams and a crew of Dominicans. The seventh and eighth graders are using these classrooms. I BOUGHT A MOTORCYCLE! And when you think of me, please pray for safety! Thursday, August 26, 2010. Here a...

Life Experiences: El Maraton del Arca
http://julieannebailey.blogspot.com/2011/06/el-maraton-del-arca.html
Tuesday, June 21, 2011. El Maraton del Arca. Here's a few pictures from the Ark Maraton this weekend. There were four different routes and distances. One for each age group. I ran the longest route which was 3.85 miles. It's mostly Ark kids, staff, summer interns, and Kids Alive missionaries who participate. A few of us who ran. Melia was excited to run. Joshua wasn't so sure. He went to the start and then cried once they said, "Go! So his dad walked him back. :). June 22, 2011 at 3:11 PM.
