Xmas packages

Jhojaris's Package


Brayan's Package

Well since I now have 13 kids, I decided to order Xmas packages for the kids through the Mac blog! I ordered them for everyone except my Guatemala girls because I thought I was going to have to give them up and now don't have the funds! So I will send them coloring book and things to the Kansas City office.

Since I am not currently getting any good CI mail I thought I would post the pics of the packages as I get them! First up was Barranquilla. I got packages for both my kids there, Jhojaris and Brayan.
Jhojaris is getting a coloring book and crayons, a book,a heart necklace, Sunglasses , and a small mind game.
Brayan is getting a coloring book and crayons, book, socks, a hot wheel and a beanie baby.

Meet Adriana

So this is Adriana who caught my attention today! As most of you know I like to sponsor kids with disabilities since my niece is disabled. When I saw her picture I was drawn to her. But before I could sponsor her she disappeared off the site. I did call though and was told she was not sponsored! So she was added to my account!

She lives in Guayaquil, Ecuador with her parents. She doesn't have any siblings according to the report. She will turn 12 on November 8th. Her father is a brick layer and her mom doesn't work. They live on about $200/month. Their home seems very stable and adequate. The walls, roof, and floor are all made of concrete. They have a living room, kitchen and 3 bedrooms! They do have running water and regulated electricity.

Her favorite activitie is playing with dolls and painting. She is in school and her favorite subjects are Music, Art, and Math.

I will put her past pictures on here. She looks so different in many of them. I am going to try to get her out a small intro package this week.
