Meet Alice's 7th sponsored child Flora!

Flora lives in Rural Guatemala. Children International put together a slide show for "blog action day" back in October 2008, in order to get sponsors for special needs children. Flora was one of the children featured because of her spina bifida. Alice was the first sponsor to take action that day and give hope to a child with special needs. She, also, more recently sent a special needs donation to Flora's family, so that they can buy some of the extra things that her condition requires. As soon as the photos & response is received on that, I will post it here. It will be fun to find out what they decided to purchase.
