Hi guys...I miss
you....but I feel great about what I am doing here outside of work~ My roommate and I found 20 sponsors for 20 poor children in a village called Sorata. They have no electrify or running water and we met them over the weekend and gave them their 1st months payment! I have never experienced such happiness! We spend 40 dollars on a shirt when this is a whole month of living for these people! Attached is a picture of all of the mothers with the sponsored children...some don't have fathers! It's soo sad but it feels great to help! WE will be directly in charge of taking them to purchase their needs and distribute the money to them...thanks to everyone that helped and those of you who are interested there are lots more who need help!
