I feel all squishy :)

I've just had my first correspondence from Brendi, the little girl that I sponsor!

Comments

Aw, very cute! What language is that? (:

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Brendi lives in Honduras, so it would be Spanish (or the Honduran version of)!

[emeraldarrows.livejournal.com]

Ah, nice! My high school Spanish is so rusty I don't even recognize it anymore. :/

Where does Brendi live?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Honduras.

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

So that's some form of Spanish then? Can you translate it?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I can't but the little label in the corner is the translation; it says:

'I did this drawing for you with much love. May God bless you for having sponsored me.'

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Aw that is very sweet.

[metallidean-grl.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's very sweet. That's refrigerator worthy posting.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

It certainly is - it's gone up on my kitchen door because I only have a little refrigerator!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Awwww, my heart just melted!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I think mine did when I opened the mail and saw this!

Oh that's so sweet! She has put a lot of work into that picture, bless her. I used to sponsor a little girl years ago and it's a lovely way to help a child and see them grow too.

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Definitely, I'm so glad I decided to do this!

that's so special :)

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

It is, I still look at it each time I walk past!

My eldest daughter just sent her first letter to our sponsor child Silhe, we only started two weeks ago, it's been something we've always wanted to do and finally just decided that there was nothing more important we could be doing with the money and that it was well overdue and only fair. A lot of Australians make comments about how charity should start at home but there is so much social welfare in this country and our current government is making huge cuts to foreign aid so any little step to redress that balance is a good thing. We have so much here and its far too easy to ignore how little others have.
