I gave a birthday gift to my child in Rwanda. She used the money to buy a hen for her family so they can have eggs.

Awesome posts!! I keep all of my letters from my sponsored children in a folder to share with friends, family, and others who might become sponsors. Seeing the letters and photos is powerful.

My child in Ethiopia buys a goat with his birthday money each year.

The family of my girl in Ghana was able to start a business with the family gift that I sent. But the greatest gift I have received from her is her committment to pray and fast one day a week for me.

…family gift to Nahum, he wrote and ssaid they bought a bed and a stove, and he thanked me for the stove because his mom didn’t burn herself anymore cooking over a fire. And I cried.

And we got back a letter thanking us for his roll away bed because he didn’t have to sleep with his mother and 2 brothers any more. He also sent a picture of himself smiling as he posed by his new bed holding new underwear and some Hotwheel cars. We cried!

..she bought two pairs of pants, a new bag, and some food.

..and my LDP student wrote and said that though she had thought about using the money to buy something for herself, she decided to use the money to buy food for her family and share her blessings with them.

..and got a letter from her parents. They said that they had been afraid because they had been three months behind on their electric bill and had no way to pay it. They said they had been praying for God to help them and that God had answered their prayers through me as their daughter’s sponsor. They were able to pay their bills and had some money left over to buy clothes for their daughter.
