WE ALSO CONTINUED TO HELP UKRAINIAN REFUGEES AND ORPHANS WITH HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT IN 2023. WE CONTINUE TO OPERATE THREE HOMES FOR CHILDREN AND A FARM FOR CAMP AND HOLIDAY CARE. OUR CHILDREN RANGE IN AGE FROM THREE YEARS TO 19 YEARS OLD. WE ARE COOPERATING WITH THE FOSTER FAMILY ASSOCIATION TO PLACE CHILDREN IN LONG TERM FOSTER CARE WHEN MOST BENEFICIAL. DURING 2023, - 37 CHILDREN WERE PLACED IN RESIDENTIAL CARE FOR SHORT TERM CRISIS CARE OF UP TO 3 MONTHS. - 32 CHILDREN WERE PLACED IN RESIDENTIAL CARE FOR LONG TERM CARE OF 3 MONTHS OR LONGER. - 11 UKRAINIAN ORPHANS WERE SERVED IN RESIDENTIAL CARE AND THEN TRANSFERRED WITH THEIR ASSIGNED FOSTER FAMILY TO A PRIVATE HOME. - INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION IS CLOSED IN LATVIA SO CHILDREN LEAVING OUR CARE WERE LARGELY PLACED IN FOSTER CARE. SEVERAL OF THE YOUNGER CHILDREN ARE IN FOSTER/ADOPT SITUATIONS. WHILE OUR PRIMARY FOCUS IS THE CARE OF CHILDREN, IN 2023 WE WERE FORTUNATE TO RECEIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO REPAIR AND UPDATE OUR CHILDREN'S HOMES. WE WERE ABLE TO REFRESH OUR PLAYGROUND CREATING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CHILDREN TO PLAY. WE INSTALLED SOLAR PANELS THAT WILL DECREASE MONTHLY ELECTRIC BILLS AND PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE ENERGY SOURCE. OUR HOMES NEEDED NEW PAINT AND TRIM WORK. DESIGNATED DONATIONS MADE THIS POSSIBLE. THE WORK WAS DONE IN THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER. SOME OF THE WORK WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE HELP OF VOLUNTEERS. MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE WELL REPAIRED AND UPDATED FACILITIES TO PROVIDE FOR THE CHILDREN IN OUR CARE. THE OVERALL SCOPE OF OUR WORK INCLUDES MEETING THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF EACH CHILD. MEDICAL CARE AND ASSESSMENT IS ONE OF THE FIRST STEPS WHEN A CHILD IS PLACED IN OUR CARE. AS WE BUILD RELATIONSHIP AND TRUST, EACH CHILD IS EVALUATED FOR PLACEMENT IN SCHOOL AND IDENTIFICATION OF ANY LEARNING DISABILITIES OR GAPS IN EDUCATION. OUR MONTESSORI SPECIALIST ASSISTS WITH BOTH LEARNING GAPS AND LEARNING DISABILITIES. CHILDREN ARE ENCOURAGED AND SUPPORTED AS THEY COMPLETE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS. CHILDREN HAVE INDIVIDUAL TIME WITH OUR SOCIAL WORKER AND MEET REGULARLY AND AS NEEDED WITH A PSYCHOLOGIST. WE ALSO HAVE SPEECH, WATER, SAND, AND ANIMAL THERAPY. CHILDREN ATTEND LOCAL CHURCHES AND WE ARE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT SPIRITUAL ISSUES. WE HAVE 25 FULL-TIME AND 6 PART-TIME STAFF MEMBERS. STAFF MEMBERS ATTEND DAILY, WEEKLY, AND MONTHLY MEETINGS TO REMAIN FULLY INFORMED OF THE NEEDS AND SCHEDULE OF THE CHILDREN. ALL FULL-TIME STAFF MEMBERS ARE FULLY INFORMED OF THE INDIVIDUAL CARE PLAN FOR EACH CHILD. OUR OBJECTIVES FOR EACH CHILD INCLUDE: 1.) RESCUE AND RECEIVING THE CHILD; 2.) RELIEF OF IMMEDIATE SUFFERING; 3.) RESTORATION OF HEALTH, EDUCATION NEEDS, AND TRUST; 4.) REPLACEMENT IN A FAMILY. EVERY CHILD NEEDS A FAMILY TO BELONG TO FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. DURING 2023, WE USED OUR FARM PROPERTY FOR SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND SUMMER VACATION. WE HAD 18 VOLUNTEERS FROM LITHUANIA WHO CAME TO PROVIDE A CAMP EXPERIENCE FOR OUR CHILDREN. WE HAD SEVERAL VOLUNTEER GROUPS WHO CAME TO HELP US CHOP WOOD AND CLEAN THE FOREST FOR THE WINTER MONTHS. WE ALSO HAD A REGULAR VOLUNTEER FROM LITHUANIA WHO CAME ONE WEEKEND A MONTH TO WORK WITH THE CHILDREN. 446619 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 2 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true false false false true false false OK X CENECA CALVERT 9186135054 1818 W 86TH STREET TULSA OK 74132 ALISSA STEMPLE PRESIDENT 40.00 X X 36000 0 9600 LIA STEMPLE VICE-PRESIDE 0.50 X X 0 0 0 FRAN MILLER TREASURER 0.50 X X 0 0 0 RICK MASSICK DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 GARY CARPENTER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JAY HEFFRON DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 36000 9600 false false false 451207 451207 451207 6600 6600 383558 383558 36000 30240 4320 1440 11487 11487 9600 8064 1152 384 1779 757 986 36 65 65 1428 1428 1882 1882 17400 17400 469799 446619 21320 1860 45025 26916 28 28 483 45536 26944 0 0 X 45536 26944 45536 26944 45536 26944 -18592 X false false false X 262134 565927 309195 487480 451207 2075943 262134 565927 309195 487480 451207 2075943 291213 1784730 2075943 0.85970 0.81330 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true EUROPE - LATVIA PROGRAM SERVICES SUPPORT OF ORPHANAGE 381958 381958 381958 EUROPE - LATVIA SUPPORT ORPHANAGE 381958 WIRE TRSF, PYMT FMV 1 false false false false false false SCHEDULE F, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 2 A FOUR PERSON COMMITTEE MONITORS THE USE OF THE FUNDS AND SIGNS A WEEKLY FINANCIAL STATUS REPORT.
