One part of our sponsorship program is celebrating every kids birthday. Our goal is to celebrate every or every other month but that didn't quite happen last year. We recently celebrated every birthday between the months of February and August of this year within 3 or 4 days. Every Birthday kid receives a present (we use donations as presents or buy them will the 'treat fund' money) and then we celebrate with all the kids with some sort of brownie, ice cream, or cupcakes. The 'treat fund' is made up of extra donations from sponsors or whomever that would like to help with the expenses of celebrating birthdays. But even if a child's sponsor doesn't donate something extra for their birthday, every kid will get a present. And now that we are up to date, I'm hoping to stay on schedule with birthday parties as we will be celebrating September and October birthdays in the next week or so.
