Aldair- Departure!

I recently introduced you to Aldair from Colombia.  I have been writing to him since May 2011 when I was linked up with him through Compassion.  He has wrote many long letters.  He is a very bright young man!  I am glad I was able to know him for 9 months.  Unfortunately, his family has moved out of the Compassion project area in Arjona Bolivar.  His project center details are below:

Most adults in Arjona Bolivar are unemployed but some work as street vendors and earn the equivalent of $172 per month. The community needs basic utilities service, proper housing, employment opportunities, pre- and primary schools and the Gospel.

I will be getting a new correspondence child soon, so I will update everyone on the new addition when I know who they are.  I wonder what country they will be from.  Any guesses?  I have 2 other children currently in the Compassion program.  One lives in Uganda and one in Guatemala.
