Back to School Time

The children of GCH have enjoyed a wonderful summer! We were so blessed by the many teams that came to serve here.

As vacation time draws to close, we are ramping up for the new school year. Classes resume August 18th, and we have lots of preparations to do before that time. We need to get uniforms, backpacks, supplies and schedules all in order. This year all expect one of the GCH kids will be school age -- that means getting 28 children ready for school. Yikes!

Here's how you can help...

1. Pray for our kids and their teachers - that they will have a successful year

2. Gather backpacks, supplies and uniforms to send or bring down to us

3. Send us a gift card to Wal-Mart, where we can buy all these school items

4. Make a donation to Yugo Ministries, PO Box 25, San Dimas, CA 91773-0025 and CLEARLY designate that it's for school costs for the children of Grace Children's Home

Our school uniforms consist of:

Boys - beige or navy docker style pants sizes 6 - 16; solid white collared shirts sizes 6 - 16; navy clip-on ties; mostly white athletic shoes and solid black school shoes sizes 12 child - 5 youth; solid navy light-weight coats.

Girls - solid white collared shirts sizes 4T - ladies medium; mostly white athletic shoes and solid black school shoes sizes 11 child - ladies 7 1/2; solid white or navy knee high socks; solid navy light-weight coats; dark colored tight fitting shorts/ leggings (to wear under skirts) sizes 4T - ladies medium

Some supplies needed:

clear plastic contact paper to cover books, glue sticks, heavy duty & large back packs, geometric sets (protractor, compass, ruler, right-angle ruler, etc), erasers, drip-proof water bottles, collapseable lunch boxes, pencil sharpeners

Please send items or gift cards to: Yugo Ministries, att: the Palaus, 241 W. 35th st., Suite A, National City, CA 91950

Any bit you can do to help is greatly appreciated! Please also pass on the word. Thanks!
