Letters from the kids, and a new picture of Annah

You know, I always thought when people said they couldn't pick a favorite child, they were full of it or being polite. I know sponsoring kids isn't nearly the same thing as having your own, but sponsoring kids now as an adult (rather than as a teenager), it still surprises me just how much I love these kids - and if you asked me to pick a favorite, I honestly couldn't. They're all so sweet and cute and clever.

Annah - I send her some t-shirts for her birthday; I hope they fit! She look like she's grown a foot between pictures!


Drawing and letter from Jessa, who has turned out to be a most enthusiastic correspondent. I'm glad I listened to the little devil on my shoulder saying sponsor her (instead of the angel saying "and where exactly is that money going to come from?")!



And a letter from the volunteer at the Lusaka center. I can't wait until Thandiwe is old enough to write on her own, but until then I'm glad to hear from the volunteers and her family members.
