Katherine was actually one of the 4 children that I had added to my account in order to find sponsors for all of the HIV+ children that CI had left that did not have sponsors. I posted the children on my family blog, and Alice jumped to take Katherine. Katherine has a more recent picture, too, but I can't get it uploaded right. I will wait until Alice returns from her trip and I will post a more recent photo at that time. Of the four children with HIV (and actually, 5 children, since I had already taken one for myself), Katherine is the only one of them that still lives with both of her living parents. I am hoping this is because they detected the virus soon enough to get the proper treatment for the whole family. I can't wait to hear of the updates for Katherine because I feel like I have a connection with her, since I had her in my account for a couple of days. More to come!Here is her bio:
