Wish List
Possibly one of the biggest items on our wish list is a bus. The Home owns a single 15 seater vehicle which ferries over sixty children to and from several different schools every day. The vehicle transports the children in shifts which makes for a very long school day.
On a less grand scale, we have the same monthly needs as most other families, just multiplied by 80! Below are some of the items we consume at a rapid rate and in the case of the gardens, items we need to develop them further.
