Christmas List Almost Complete

Nearly all the children in Kalskag have a sponsor for a Christmas gift! We need people to sponsor children under 3 years old. We are thinking of giving diapers and possibly infant milk if needed. Baby toys or warm hats & mittens are another idea for gifts. If you are interested in sponsoring a child or two let me know and I can give a first name and age of a child.  Thank you for making Christmas for Kalskag kids brighter this year! Lord bless you. 

Wrap the gifts and securely attach the name of the child to the gift and send to:

Calvary Missions Christmas

Birthday Greetings

A Kalskag friend texted me in the evening of my birthday, October 8^th and asked if I had my VHF radio. After I affirmed it he asked me to turn it on.  I thought there was going to be a special emergency announcement about the inclement weather for people in the village.  We were having a severe wind & rain storm.

I listened to the announcement: “Happy Birthday, Shelly!” then another person announced birthday greetings.  It began a chain reaction!  I listened and thanked adults, children, friends, parents and community members!

At the end one five year old girl got back on the radio and I can hear her whispering over air waves, “Ms. Shellllllllllyyyyyy….. Ms. Shelllllllyyyy…I’m suppose to be asleep…”  Everyone in the village heard her whispering her top secret message to me. 

The next morning several more people wished me a happy birthday.  Many of them heard this little girl…we all laughed!!  Best Birthday EVER!  Quyanna!
