Well after years of wanting to sponsor a child I finally followed through and did it!! I would like to add at least one more in the future when my financial situation gets better. Honestly now probably isn't the tme to start but it is something I really want to do. I chose to go through Children International for two reasons. One is that the money is not used towards anything religious. Even though I am a christian I do not think when families are this poor that they should use money for that when they sre struggling to even eat. The other is that this is one of the only programs that allows you to send packages to the children. I like that personal connection you can add. I can't go crazy like I would as shipping is ridiculous but will send some small packages.
My first girl is from Ecuador and her name is Lizbeth. She just turned 9 years old and has one sister. I will update this blog with information on her and when I hear from her. In the meantime here is her picture! My goal is in a couple years to be able to go meet her!
