Each sponsor is able to open a different window on the world for their special child by telling them about their home and family life.
So it is it is wonderful for both child and sponsor when they get to meet.
Susan James, who has just returned home to the USA after volunteering with our family, writes about meeting Saumu Safari, the little girl she has sponsored for the past three years.
"I was a joy to meet my sponsor child Saumu.
She is sven years old.
I specially enjoyed
seeing her interactions at school, playing, at PE, and with her friends in the weeks I was at Happy House.
It is an amazing children's home and school that is developing the children's life skills and social skills.
The older ones help greatly with the
younger ones in all areas. They are well behaved in class and are learning all
the subjects.
I see the progress in action and the hard work
of the teachers.
Since I am a substance abuse counselor I was asked to speak in
class 7 . I gave my talk on drugs and the
dangers of drug abuse.
The children listened intently, asked
intelligent questions, and took notes. I used the board to make my
illustrations.
I enjoyed working in the garden and
helping in any way, I love seeing things grow and then becoming food.
I saw the new primary school
being built and the progress they have made it should be done soon if not
already.
California is a very long way to go, but it
was a trip well worth it. I plan to come back, but next time I hope
to bring interested friends.
Sue and Dave keep up the wonderful work
because it is paying off.
