Prompted by the Asian tsunami, we donated to the Red Cross. Wanting to make a more lasting impact, we turned to World Vision Canada at the beginning of this year. We learned about child sponsorship at their web site. Shortly thereafter, we received the child's information packet. If you regularly follow this blog, you'll remember I added the first letter I wrote near the end of February.
Since that time, we've sent and received a few letters. It is nice to know that sponsorship really helps a specific child, as well as his family and community.
A drawing arrived last week from Isuru who is 8 years old. I scanned a small copy to include here. We were pleased to get it along with a letter someone had written for him and the English translation.
