Meet Alice's 5th sponsored child Carlos!

Carlos is Claritza's brother. Alice first began sponsoring him in August 2008. She recently sent the two of them a special needs donation that they used to buy food and other things for the home. I will post the pictures of that in a later post. Carlos' most recent letter to Alice was translated like this:

I feel very happy because you are thinking of me. I had a good Christmas time, thanks God. I hope you also had a good Christmas time too. I received your gift. Thank you so much. Thank you for everything you do for me. I hope you will be able to meet you some day, so I will be able to give you a warm hug and kiss. May God give you long life and health, so you can help other needy children. Now I say bye with much love and affection, Carlos
