Meet Alice's 1st sponsored child Claritza!

Alice began sponsoring Claritza in August 2005 (3 years later, she took on Claritza's brother Carlos who will be featured later). At only 5 1/2 years old, she just wrote her first letter to Alice! It is short, but very sweet... And considering she is ONLY 5 years old, I think it is beautiful! This is what she wrote:

Dear Sponsor Alice,

I am happy to know that someone love me so much as you do. I am happy because I can do the letters by myself. I recieved your gift. Thank you so much. I hope to know you someday. With so much love say bye, Claritza
