Remember yesterday I shared with you what my son's school was doing? Miss Murphy said the kids really enjoyed their little project and she took pics of the kids working to share with Smeralda too.
Can you imagine living in Haiti and receiving a package that includes pictures and drawings from American kids your age? Seeing the inside of their classroom and how things are so different? I hope she enjoys them. I know I enjoyed watching the kids get so excited about what we were doing. I can't wait to see Smeralda again!
I wanted to say THANK YOU also to those who have e-mailed me about becoming sponsors for kids! I think it's awesome that others are stepping out in faith to help these children. And if you want a really good read and some eye candy of AMAZING photos you should read THIS BLOG someone referred me to this week. It has links for others in his group that traveled to Africa this past week. INCREDIBLE! (I'm a blog junkie, so.... must share my addiction.)
One more quickie before I have to head out to take Easter pictures today.... if some of you are still doubting whether or not you can make a monthly commitment to sponsor a child there are even more ways to help that are less expensive on the wallet. If you don't feel you can afford $35, or $25...... how about $7?
Yes, SEVEN dollars......
$7.00......
Just $7 little dollars a month can do SO much.
