I do not know if I’m going to win her trust, it’s been a while, but so far no dice. It’s not looking good, peeps. Also, after a little thought I decided not to share her photo, because I’m uncertain that she’d be comfortable with that. Consent is important. https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_9365.webpIMG_9365Brigid Kenya, 8 years old This kid is a live wire! https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_3786-1.webpIMG_3786Seenu Sri Lanka, 3 years old https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_8205.webpIMG_8205Bless 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. https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_5864.webpIMG_58642026-03-08T21:33:54+00:00weekly0.6https://hugabugga.com/contact/2026-03-08T21:21:18+00:00weekly0.6https://hugabugga.com/the-crew/https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_2030.jpegYasuYasu India, 13 years old Yasu was my first ChildFund sponsorship, it was because of her I was willing to give up the super slick user interfaces of the other organizations platforms. She’s a chameleon with her art, currently, exploring, evolving, which in turn makes her a bit of a mystery. Which way will she go? She’s drawn to textiles, to clothing design, but I expect she’ll choose a very practical career path, but will her art continue? Stay tuned to find out!https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_2056.jpegScreenshotScreenshothttps://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_3314.jpegAtukuniAtukuni Kenya, 7 years old This little one is my newest sponsorship, we are just getting started. There was just something about her that spoke to me. I don’t know her well, yet, we are still feeling each other out, but it turns out she likes art (yes! Score!) and she seems to be having some forward motion in her life now, with regular school attendance, new uniforms, and a mom who is starting to embrace the sponsorship process. She also has a gaggle of sisters and one baby brother, the newest addition to the family. https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_9927.jpegScreenshotScreenshothttps://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_9584.jpegAda & Dariela LoveDariela Honduras, 6 years old I have never been so immediately welcomed and loved by a sponsor family as with this child- they made me one of their own, and our relationship is close and loving. I’m so lucky. I mean, just wow. Shown with mom, I sometimes feel like a Victorian lady, writing the letters, “Darling Ada, Sweet Dariela…” https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_9143.jpegLuzLuz Bolivia, 5 years old Everytime I get a photo of Luz sending me a wave, my heart turns into a puddle of goo at her feet. She is a ray of light in my life, with an interesting mom, Maxima, who’s a knitter of great skill- Luz wears her creations often. I love sponsoring in Bolivia— mailings get there fast, even the physical ones, they’re generous with photos, letters, art and their hearts. It’s just all around a great place to sponsor, if you’re going through ChildFund this region is, for lack of a better word, easy. I can’t recommend it enough. https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_1211.jpegScreenshotScreenshothttps://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_2868.jpegScreenshotScreenshothttps://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_3597.jpegRossana & PuppyRossana Bolivia, 14 years old An aspiring chef, she’s a good student, detail oriented, & very diligent in the pursuit of her dream. When she’s not studying away, she’s in the kitchen, playing with sauces, experimenting with food. I really think she’s going to make it, I really do. It’s very exciting.https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_4581.jpegLuz wavingLuz Bolivia, 5 years old Everytime I get a photo of Luz sending me a wave my heart turns into a puddle of goo at my feet. She is a ray of sunshine in my life. Often she wears knit clothing her mother made with great skill. Mom is an artisan and supplements the family income with her creations, which I find to be fairly unusual, and I love that this family is working so hard to lift their children up. They’re doing a great job. 2026-03-08T15:54:57+00:00weekly0.6https://hugabugga.com/2026/03/06/compassion-buddies/https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_5840.jpegScreenshotScreenshot2026-03-07T18:10:19+00:00monthlyhttps://hugabugga.com/2026/03/05/a-covid-failure/https://hugabugga.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/img_1461.jpegIMG_14612026-03-05T14:42:15+00:00monthlyhttps://hugabugga.comdaily1.02026-03-10T03:04:33+00:00
