I like swimming

This weekend, as with every time we go to visit BPDN, we taught English. The children are learning words such as running, walking, writing, drawing, swimming and so on. This time we asked them to do an activity with a difference. We asked them to write and tell their sponsors if they liked swimming or writing or drawing. They thought this was a great idea and set to work. While the concept that somewhere in the world someone cares for them specifically is,understandably, too much for them to fully take on, we do catch a sparkle in their eyes when we share bits of information about you all. Zach, Jordan, Casey and Kenz went from student to student helping spell your names. Zach helped little Doon draw some pictures and Doon and Zach smiled at each other often (they don't speak the same language), delighting in each others work. It was also fantastic to watch the students write your names. Currently I know most of our sponsors personally and as I saw the students write your names, I was able to imagine you 'seeing' your letter. It certainly felt like you were close by. It reminded me that you are truly seeking justice with us. So....letters are coming and I am sure they will light up your day.

In order to send out these letters I need your home/Po Box addresses. Can you make a point (if you are sponsoring a student) to send me an email with your address on it please. connect3e@hotmail.com

Below is a sneak preview of the letters to come.
