Updates: Viviana

Letters from Viviana as written by her equally adorable older sister Valentina!

Three letters and a new annual photo

This week I've received new letters from Grace (my friend's child who's sponsoring her on my account) and Nayeli, and a letter from Jessa. I also got a new annual photo of Viviana.



I love her tights! Most of my clothes have skulls on them - I love that I've found the one wannabe goth six-year-old in Chile. She's so adorable.

Letters!

New letters!

A letter from Wituelle (Compassion Haiti)





A "first" letter from Viviana's mother (CI Chile), despite it being the actual second letter I got from her. She seems so nice!


And a thank you note from Jessa (CI Philippines) for CI's annual Christmas gift. She refers to me as "sponsor" a lot - hopefully she has the hang of my name by now!




I also got my monthly picture of Annah. She's growing up so fast!

WOW am I behind.

So many things to post about. I don't even know where to begin. No major developments, just a lot of letters.

Two letters from Jessa, received a couple of weeks apart. I'm guessing one is one of the "required" letters, since it's addressed "dear sponsor."








First letters from Viviana (well, Viviana's mother) and Bianca:






A letter from Lisette:






A letter from Thandiwe's grandmother:




Letters and pictures from Sophia:













And a new picture of Annah:




Sheesh. Never let me get this behind again!

My last "new kids."

I've said it before, but this time I mean it. This is my last intro post for a LONG TIME.

I've wanted a kid in Chile for a long time, and was hoping to find a kid in a single parent household.

Despite not having any freakin' money to speak of, meet Lisette Andrea. As with most of my kids, besides the "single mom" aspect, I think her name is beautiful.



Lisette's parents are separated and she lives with her mom and older brother. Her mother is a homemaker, so I guess the father still supports his children, which is great if that's the case; sadly such a rarity today! Their house sounds bigger than most of my sponsored kids', with three bedrooms, a dining room and a kitchen - how great that the kids get to have their own bedrooms!

There are pics of Lisette dating back a couple of years; not sure if she was previously sponsored or if she's been waiting this long.

And yes, the header says new kids. One more, also in Chile. This one one of those cases of seeing a picture, and the kid being impossibly cute and my being unable to say no. Her name is also lovely. Meet Viviana Alexa:



Seriously, look at her. Couldn't you just eat her up?!

She has five siblings and is the baby of the group. Her equally cute sister Valentina is also on the CI site looking for a sponsor...in case anyone out there is looking for another kid ;) Her mother is employed, her father is not. Luckily two of her brothers are 18 and 21 so perhaps they're able to help support the family.

Viviana has a photo from 2009 on the site as well:
