Uganda-John Tonny

Here is a letter from John Tonny who lives in Uganda. I meant to post it earlier. He is a serious little boy who lives with his older brother, Ronald, sisters Betty and Patricia, and grandmother. The children have experienced neglect and abuse and are sad because they cannot stay with their mother. I worry about them.

A Busy Weekend

This weekend I have been busy catching up on writng and preparing DP's for some of the children. The children that I wrote to are John Tonny, Ronald Nyanzi, Edwin, and Viany from New Victory School in Uganda. I also prepared a very small package for little Baby Peace which included ABC flash cards, a coloring activity, baby lotion, and stickers. I also wrote letters to my two group sponsored girls in Guatemala, Magda and Odilia. Packages were prepared for my 3 Antares Foundation boys, Denis, Dima, and Maksim. This will be their first package and includes small gifts for their birthdays. All of the boys will be 10 years old after Maksim has his birthday in June. Dima's birthday was in March and  little Denis is at the end of this month. I also have a package for Leonardo who had a birthday this past week. He is now 9 years old! Bleidis has a birthday today :) She is turning eleven years old. I will send her off her DP next week! :) These kids are growing way too fast!

India-Divya and Bhavani

Divya who is holding hands with Bhavani is also one of my co-sponsored children. I think  that the girls are best friends.

India-Bhavani

These are the latest photos of the Santha Thota children who live in India. I sponsor Bhavani, the little girl in the yellow and white. The program is supported by United with Hope.

Uganda-Baby Peace

Baby Peace is my youngest sponsored child. She just started nursery in Jan. and lives with her two sisters and mom. She is very smart and likes to count.  She is holding a mosquito net, toilet paper and soap.I am sending a little package to her this week.I hope to see clear photos of her the next time!

Uganda-Ronald N.

Here is a new photo of Ronald with a chicken that I ordered for him. I see that he really needs some shoes and he is wearing his PJ's. I heard that he only comes to school twice a week so he may not be getting enough food. He is so thin and I am worried about him. If he came to school every day, he could get at least one meal a day.

Uganda-Ronald

Ronald received some hygiene gifts and is posing with a group from New Victory School. He is on the far right and he is growing so fast! He also wrote me and this is his letter!

India-Mary

Mary was able to get a new bracelet. She wears the prettiest clothes. The material in India for clothing is very cheap, so the women are able to have some beautiful clothing. Mary and and all of her siblings are deaf and unable to speak.

Kenya-Patrick

I received the sweetest letter from Patrick recently :)

India-Lokesh

This is Lokesh, a child that I co-sponsor, with his friend, little Tharun, (Santha Thota School) The two boys must stick together. They are outnumbered by the girls at the school! :)

India-Srinu Sisters

These are photos of the Srinu sisters and I love these photos because the girls look a little more relaxed and are smiling in a couple. I sponsor Hari, the oldest child, who is recovering from chicken pox along with her youngest sister, Pravalika. The other sister is Harika.

India-Divya and Anana

India-Divya and Anand

This week I received so many new photos! I am so happy to see all of them. This is Divy and her little brother, Ananad, who receive monthly supplies through United with Hope from Pastor Francis. I sent some money to buy a little bracelet for Divya and a necklace for Anand. Looks like they enjoyed them!

Colombia-Leonardo

This is Leonardo from Santa Marta, Colombia.  He is sponsored through Children International. I hope to visit him in July!

India-Santhosh

Santhosh is a little boy that I use to sponsor who was attending the gypsy feeding program that Durga and her husband have. He and his village are no longer attending the program but I am trying to keep in touch with him when I can. I sent him some new clothes :) I think that is his home behind him.

Haiti-Weekensly

This is Weekensly from Haiti with new gifts given by the first graders at my school. He lives at the Living Christl Orphanage in Haiti.

Visiting Sponsored Children

I am thankful that I have an opportunity to visit my Colombian kids who are sponsored through Children International, this July :)  This will be my second trip to Colombia. Two children who are siblings, Yiseth and Nelson, live in Cartagena. Frranciso also lives in Cartagena. Two siblings, Maria and Bleidis, live in Barranquilla and Andrea Carolina and Leonardo both live in Santa Marta. This will be my first time visiting Leonardo and Andrea Carolina. The plan is to visit each center in each city, spending the day in each place, visiting their homes, going out to lunch and the arcades, and taking a trip to the mall to get one new outfit. I am looking forward to staying in Cartagena as my home base and spending one night in Santa Marta. I will set up a new blog for updates!
