Good
Morning, Happy Mexican Independence Day! Since yesterday I spoke about ways I serve God
in my community I decided that today I would continue sharing another way that
if you don’t have the time to volunteer you can still do good. Jesus tells us that where our treasure is there our hearts will also be; thus, I try to
use my money on others too. I stumbled
on World Vision four years ago at a Women of Faith conference and since then I have
sponsored two girls. After Wajifa, my
first sponsor child, moved away from the community that World Vision serves I
was assigned my current child, Sarai.
For thirty-five dollars a month my little girl, her family and her
community get food, education & medical care. On a yearly basis I get updates of my child
in a form of a report and a current picture.
I have the option of writing to her as many letters as I please and
sending her small gifts. This experience
has been so rewarding every time I get a letter from her I get so excited! Knowing that others are better because of my
small contribution gives my life so much purpose!
Here’s my
little adoptive angel- Sarai
She lives with
her parents and has one brother. Her
house is constructed from bamboo, a metal roof and dirt floors. When I began sponsoring her she was not in
school, but thanks to my monthly contributions she now attends school and her
favorite subjects include Bangla & drawing.
She’s a girlie girl (who like me) loves wearing dresses. Sarai enjoys
drawing, playing with dolls, ice cream and aspires to be a doctor when she
grows up.
My sponsor
commitment doesn’t just help my little girl – it also supports medical
check-ups for the community as well as agricultural training to help parents
provide sustainable crops. My experience
for the past four years has been really positive and rewarding and I encourage
you to look into sponsoring a child.
