Efrain's own words:
Jinky is my sixth sponsored child with Children International and my fourteenth sponsored child ever. Jinky is another girl from thePhilippines. When I sponsored her, I didn't had in mind to sponsor another child. It was another impulsive sponsorship. I just went to the CI website and browsed the girls pictures. As Rovelyn did, so did Jinky. She bought my heart with her sad innocent look (in that picture).
Jinky is eleven years old. She lives with his father, mother, and four brothers.I just downloaded her last yearly picture yesterday afternoon, most likely the one you see posted here. I was wishing for a long time to see that smile. On every picture (save for the previous yearly picture), if she smiles, it is a half smile with the lips closed. She looks just adorable in this picture.When I sponsored Jinky, her records said that she slept on the floor with a mat. My inquiries on this matter revealed that there was little room left for a bed but that a sofa bed would do. So I donated for her sofa bed. Yet, her next child progress report said that she still slept on the floor with a mat. I asked about this. CI inquired on this and I got in reply four pictures of Jinky sitting on her sofa bed. It turns out that by the time they made the report, she preferred to sleep on the floor since it was the hottest season of the year.

It has been said that it's wrong to have favorites. Yet I think most people do have favorites. I confess up front that among my sponsored children, Jinky is my favorite. I have never told her so, nor I have told so to anyone of my other sponsored children; but I always tell it to anyone who wants to know about my children. She is not the most affectionate nor the prettiest among my sponsored children, yet I tend to prefer her. I don't know why, but Jinky always stands out.
