Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4A

“Teach crafts, and help with music for the children. During 2016 we had 36 children placed in families of some type and 37 new children that came. The 36 children placed in families are as follows 1) foreign adoptions - 15 children 2) returned to biological family - 14 children 3) placed in foster family and guardianship in latvia - 6 children 4) transferred to a different institution - 1 child volunteers during 2016 included six retired latvian citizens who gave an average of four to six hours weekly teaching music, reading, and helping with the care of infants. We had several college students, two from the united states, who volunteered for two to four weeks with the care of the children. Several church groups came to help with preparing our farm for winter by covering the gardens and collecting, splitting, and stacking firewood. Our staff size remains stable at 30 staff members and the minimum wage in latvia was raised by 20 euros to 380 eur per month. There is some struggle to find and retain well-qualified staff as the younger generation of latvians continue to move in large numbers to western europe. We celebrated our 19th year of service to orphaned and abandoned children in latvia. The ministry of child welfare has asked us to serve as a model for other orphanages and rehabilitation centers in latvia. We have received delegations from seven other centers and continue to share our model and experience with others.”

IRS990/Desc0THE WORK OF SPARROWS NEST IN 2016 CONTINUED TO CENTER AROUND THE NEEDS OF ORPHANED AND ABANDONED CHILDREN IN INSTITUTIONALIZED CARE. THIS CARE CONTINUES TO TAKE PLACE IN LARGELY IN LATVIA WITH SUPPORT AND EDUCATION PROVIDED TO ORPHANAGES IN SURROUNDING COUNTRIES. DURING 2016 WE HAD THOUSANDS OF SERVICE HOURS AS WE CONTINUED RESIDENTIAL CARE IN OUR ORPHANAGE HOMES AND HELPED NON-RESIDENTIAL CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN CRISIS. WE ALSO CONTINUED OUR OUTREACH TO ELDERLY AND WITH THE HELP OF DESIGNATED FUNDS WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE SURGERIES, DENTURES, AND MONTHLY BILLS FOR MEDICINE POSSIBLE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS WITHOUT FAMILIES TO CARE FOR THEM. MANY OF THESE SENIOR CITIZENS ALSO VOLUNTEERED TO READ, TEACH CRAFTS, AND HELP WITH MUSIC FOR THE CHILDREN. DURING 2016 WE HAD 36 CHILDREN PLACED IN FAMILIES OF SOME TYPE AND 37 NEW CHILDREN THAT CAME. THE 36 CHILDREN PLACED IN FAMILIES ARE AS FOLLOWS 1) FOREIGN ADOPTIONS - 15 CHILDREN 2) RETURNED TO BIOLOGICAL FAMILY - 14 CHILDREN 3) PLACED IN FOSTER FAMILY AND GUARDIANSHIP IN LATVIA - 6 CHILDREN 4) TRANSFERRED TO A DIFFERENT INSTITUTION - 1 CHILD VOLUNTEERS DURING 2016 INCLUDED SIX RETIRED LATVIAN CITIZENS WHO GAVE AN AVERAGE OF FOUR TO SIX HOURS WEEKLY TEACHING MUSIC, READING, AND HELPING WITH THE CARE OF INFANTS. WE HAD SEVERAL COLLEGE STUDENTS, TWO FROM THE UNITED STATES, WHO VOLUNTEERED FOR TWO TO FOUR WEEKS WITH THE CARE OF THE CHILDREN. SEVERAL CHURCH GROUPS CAME TO HELP WITH PREPARING OUR FARM FOR WINTER BY COVERING THE GARDENS AND COLLECTING, SPLITTING, AND STACKING FIREWOOD. OUR STAFF SIZE REMAINS STABLE AT 30 STAFF MEMBERS AND THE MINIMUM WAGE IN LATVIA WAS RAISED BY 20 EUROS TO 380 EUR PER MONTH. THERE IS SOME STRUGGLE TO FIND AND RETAIN WELL-QUALIFIED STAFF AS THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF LATVIANS CONTINUE TO MOVE IN LARGE NUMBERS TO WESTERN EUROPE. WE CELEBRATED OUR 19TH YEAR OF SERVICE TO ORPHANED AND ABANDONED CHILDREN IN LATVIA. THE MINISTRY OF CHILD WELFARE HAS ASKED US TO SERVE AS A MODEL FOR OTHER ORPHANAGES AND REHABILITATION CENTERS IN LATVIA. WE HAVE RECEIVED DELEGATIONS FROM SEVEN OTHER CENTERS AND CONTINUE TO SHARE OUR MODEL AND EXPERIENCE WITH OTHERS.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0TEACH CRAFTS, AND HELP WITH MUSIC FOR THE CHILDREN. DURING 2016 WE HAD 36 CHILDREN PLACED IN FAMILIES OF SOME TYPE AND 37 NEW CHILDREN THAT CAME. THE 36 CHILDREN PLACED IN FAMILIES ARE AS FOLLOWS 1) FOREIGN ADOPTIONS - 15 CHILDREN 2) RETURNED TO BIOLOGICAL FAMILY - 14 CHILDREN 3) PLACED IN FOSTER FAMILY AND GUARDIANSHIP IN LATVIA - 6 CHILDREN 4) TRANSFERRED TO A DIFFERENT INSTITUTION - 1 CHILD VOLUNTEERS DURING 2016 INCLUDED SIX RETIRED LATVIAN CITIZENS WHO GAVE AN AVERAGE OF FOUR TO SIX HOURS WEEKLY TEACHING MUSIC, READING, AND HELPING WITH THE CARE OF INFANTS. WE HAD SEVERAL COLLEGE STUDENTS, TWO FROM THE UNITED STATES, WHO VOLUNTEERED FOR TWO TO FOUR WEEKS WITH THE CARE OF THE CHILDREN. SEVERAL CHURCH GROUPS CAME TO HELP WITH PREPARING OUR FARM FOR WINTER BY COVERING THE GARDENS AND COLLECTING, SPLITTING, AND STACKING FIREWOOD. OUR STAFF SIZE REMAINS STABLE AT 30 STAFF MEMBERS AND THE MINIMUM WAGE IN LATVIA WAS RAISED BY 20 EUROS TO 380 EUR PER MONTH. THERE IS SOME STRUGGLE TO FIND AND RETAIN WELL-QUALIFIED STAFF AS THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF LATVIANS CONTINUE TO MOVE IN LARGE NUMBERS TO WESTERN EUROPE. WE CELEBRATED OUR 19TH YEAR OF SERVICE TO ORPHANED AND ABANDONED CHILDREN IN LATVIA. THE MINISTRY OF CHILD WELFARE HAS ASKED US TO SERVE AS A MODEL FOR OTHER ORPHANAGES AND REHABILITATION CENTERS IN LATVIA. WE HAVE RECEIVED DELEGATIONS FROM SEVEN OTHER CENTERS AND CONTINUE TO SHARE OUR MODEL AND EXPERIENCE WITH OTHERS.
