Katerines Easter Direct Package

I received the report on Katerine's Easter Direct Package. I was a little disappointed with the fact that they only sent one picture but she is sure a cutie. Here is the leter someone wrote for her (never sure who writes for her):
Dear Sponsor Lisa,
I greet you thanking you for the package you sent to Katerine. She thanks you for the crayons, the book, the ponytails, the sweater, the pictures, and for the rope (it was a jump rope), the balls and the rabbits. She loves them because the rabbit is her favorite animal and she thanks you for the duck and may God bless you along with your sponsored child and niece and that everything is fine with your dogs surgery abd she is thankful and she says so long to you wishing you do it well.

Anthonys SNG

I sent Anthony a SNG back in February and got the report today.

Anthony received:
Groceries
Cleaning Supplies
Toy Car
Ball

What were the Child/familys comments when the gifts were delivered?

Anthony and his mother were very happy to receive this donation. Mrs. Patate commented she is very grateful to the sponsor for all the support her son receives through the program. Little Anthony was very glad with the new ball; he will enjoy playing with it. Anthony and his mother sent the sponsor a big hug and all their gratitude and love.

How will the gifts benefit the child and/or family?
Thanks to the sponsor's generous contribution, little Anthony and his mother were provided with some groceries. It was something they really needed, because their economical situation is very hard. As Anthonys mother works doing laundry by hand, her income is very low, so they face a very difficult situation. However, thanks to the sponsors donation, they will enjoy a better and more balanced diet that will let them be strong and healthy.

His mom wrote:

Thank God, we have someone like you in our lives. You are kind and generous. Goodbye, warm hugs and kisses to you and your family.

Jessicas Annual Photo

She looks so good and happy!!!!

New Annual Photo of Iris

Iris is my second newest child. I don't know much about her yet as I haven't even gotten a first letter yet. But I did have this new picture in my account. She is adorable but looks totally different then the first picture. I have two more new pictures that I will post in the next day or two. I am not getting new CI mail so have to have something to post!

My long post on Jessicas SNG is coming up. I got a load of pictures but haven't put the post together yet. Also please visit the CI site for a great slideshow about Jessica. And also if you can help build a house for Jessica please visit www.firstgiving.com/miracleforjessica
And last piece of news is that I received cnfirmation that both my Columbian kids will be able to make it to meet Steve next week! I cannot wait to hear about it and see photos and hopefully video too!

Lizbeths SNG

I had a special needs request for Lizbeth for a bed. I sent the money and some extra in the middle of Feb and got back the report today. Could she be smiling any bigger? She is so cute. Anyway she received:
Groceries
1 Bed
3 Blankets
1 Mattress
2 Bedspread
2 Sheet sets
1 pajamas

The report says:
Lizbeth was so happy when she was told she received a new bed. The child commented: "I am a lucky girl. I have a wonderful sponsor!" Lizbeth and her family are very grateful to the sponsor for such a nice gesture towards them. Lizbeth also said she always prays to God to bless the sponsor for her kind heart. The child and her family sent the sponsor a big hug and lots of kisses.

How will the gifts benefit the child and/or family?
Thanks to the spnsors generuous contribution Lizbeth was provided with a new bed, a matress, bedding, and some groceries for the family. The bed was somethng the child really needed, because the family used to share one single size bed. However, thanks to this kind donation Lizbeth will sleep more comfortably at night. The bedding will also be helpful for the child, as she will sleep warmer, especially now that we are in the winter season.

Thanks for the bed, matress, sheet and blankets. I will be warm at night now. I loved my pajamas too. It makes me happy to know you worry about me. Thanks for the groceries for my nutrition. Thanks to you, I will grow healthy and strong. I'm doing well in school. I play, smile, and have fun. Goodbye, warm hugs and kisses, Lizbeth

These are the SNG pictures that I got from Katerines SNG. She is in Guatemala and it seems like she really got a lot of stuff for the money! She is really a cutie!

Jhojaris and her Family

This is Jhojaris. She is 7 years old and in Columbia. She has 5 siblings and they all live with their mom. Their father abandned them and sends money sometimes. Sometimes he does not. Her mother is not currently working and they have terrible living conditions. She is in need of a bed and also school shoes. So I will be working on that. She is the one in the blue. I am hoping she can make it to the community center to meet Steve in a few weeks!
