The current lineup of my foster sponsor kids, in no particular order.
Kenya, 8 years old
This kid is a live wire! Total art chick.
Nicaragua, 10 years old
Under my care for just over a year, in her last letter she informed me with great confidence that she is curios about me and wants to know more. The feeling is mutual, little one.
Rwanda, 5 years old
My newest placement, she stepped into Wendwosen’s spot when he left the program.
Ethiopia, 13 years old
This child carries a heavy load, with a very sick mother and grueling poverty. His financial sponsor & I seem to be playing tag, trying to help him stay in school.
Sri Lanka, 4 years old
I don’t know him well yet, or his mum. Sri Lanka has been hit with typhoons, slowing things down considerably, actual survival taking precedence over letter writing, and wisely so. His home was badly damaged in Cyclone Ditwa, leaving this family with almost nothing.
Ethiopia, 19 years old
This young woman has been bounced around a lot between sponsors. I do not know if I’m going to win her trust, it’s been a while, but so far no dice.
Sri Lanka, 4 years old
One of a crop of kids Compassion assigned to me from the region, all at once. A mega-church took on thousands of them last year.
Uganda, 13 years old
A smart child, reserved, but she seems to like getting mail, and I’ve seen her life improve over the last few years. With one birthday gift she bought a goat, which is life changing for a family like this.
Sri Lanka, 4 years old
Part of the mega-church crop, I don’t know the family well, yet. Sponsorship of children this small is a slow, slow process. It takes time, and everything depends on the families level of engagement.
Tanzania, 12 years old
Shares a sponsor with Catherine and wishes to become a pilot.
Ethiopia, 17 years old
This is a sweet person you are looking at. Sponsored for about 9 months now, I think we are on a really good track so far. It’s a good fit.
Tanzania, 12 years old
She’s very studious and wants to become a nurse, a common choice, but worthy. I can’t believe how big she’s getting. Wah!!
Ethiopia, 3 years old
Although I barely know this little one I’m fond of her. There’s something rather marvelous about her. Secretly I have high hopes.
Mexico, 14 years old
She’s has a rough year— her mum needed emergency surgery which cleaned out the savings account for her upcoming quinceañera. I sent a small sum of money, but it’s so small. But my business has been so slow, it’s all I can do. Hopefully it will be enough to help create a good memory anyways.
Ghana, 11 years old
I don’t know what this kid has been through, but whatever it is, it wasn’t good. A recent change of location and caretaker give me some hope for a happier future for her.
Sri Lanka, 3 years old I have a friend who says that someday I’m going to go to Sri Lanka and have all these kids following me around like ducklings! lol What a wonderful image!
