[0:00] When people are here, this is a very emotional place, you know, and this is why I like people to come many people can't come

[0:07] But those that can come I asked to come, you know, because when you're here the smell the touch of the people

[0:15] I mean the involvement I

[0:17] Mean it's just there's no substitute for I think I think with TV and cameras and stuff

[0:24] We become so desensitized to to all the needs and stuff through TV, you know

[0:30] So when you're here and it's in your face and you're smelling it. So anyway, so so they get really emotional here

[0:35] You know and then they go home. Okay. Well, as soon as you get back to

[0:42] Reality normal life the job the kids, you know and all those other stuff that starts fading immediately

[0:48] You know through people so

[0:52] So it's a chore and that's one of the reasons that we've kind of been recruiting kind of like we call it the board

[0:58] You know we've got three other people now to help carry the ball and to help raise funds and it's it's always good to have

[1:06] Other insight, you know what's going on and new ideas and and then we do have a few

[1:14] fateful people who have signed on to specific kids and

[1:19] And they paid for them, you know month after month year after year

[1:24] year, but that was a big disaster too because we actually took every kid and assigned them

[1:30] out to people, you know, so I thought that was the ticket, you know, but then come time

[1:37] for funding that people would, oh well, not doing it this year.

[1:40] So all of a sudden we've got all these kids that, you know, I'm not going to tell

[1:45] them I can't go to school, you know, so we're scrambling like we can be, you know,

[1:49] to find funds for them to keep them in school.

[1:53] So I do like assigning kids, but I much prefer the general fund so we can, you know, keep

[2:01] the books balanced a little bit better, cash flowing.
