I wanted to feature one extended family all in one post. The benefit of doing this is that you can see who is living with whom, and can sponsor children in the same family, or even share a family with a friend. A lot of the children live with relatives, but that is all completely normal in Zambian life. The family is not just the mother father and children. The family includes cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents, etc. It is interesting to note that in most cases, they do not differentiate between cousin and sibling/ father and uncle/ mother and aunt.

I will be sending out a second package of Ty beanie bears to the children sponsored from now until May 31st. You can choose the bear you would like to send your sponsored child, and you can even send them a letter! To see the teddy bears available, click here
