A Letter from Elizabeth M~ Feb 2011

Elizabeth wrote this sweet letter.  She was one of the children I sent a Christmas card to.  I have always loved her sweet face, but I am not her sponsor.  Right now, I am unemployed, so without work, I can not add ANY more kids =)  If you would like to sponsor Elizabeth for only $9 a month, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com 

A Letter from Paul~ Feb 2011

This sweet little 3 year old is not a child I sponsor.  He replied to my Christmas card and colored the Disney picture I sent him.  Paul needs a sponsor.  If you would like to sponsor Paul for only $9 a month, send an e-mail to macandmic@gmail.com

A Letter from Daphne~ Feb 2011

As you can see, Daphne has great penmanship!! This letter is very informational. I can't wait to see the rest of my children grow up and write like this!!  Daphne is a 9th grader.

A Letter from Netto~ Feb 2011

Netto is one of the children that lives with Mrs. Mweemba.  She is the grandmother taking care of 18 grandchildren!!  How do you keep track of 18 children?!  =)

A Letter from Elie~ Feb 2011

Elie says she would like to be a doctor.  Wow!  She is a great writer.  I have received 8 letteers in 8 months!  And, you know I love letters!

A Letter from Alex~ Feb 2011

This is the letter from Charles' brother/cousin.  They are an inseparable pair, so I had to sponsor Alex to even out the combo =)

A Letter from Charles~ Feb 2011

I am not sure how I will ever write all of these sweet children back!!  But, I know I will.  Jaden and Morgan have taken up a lot of letter writing, but after writing to 5 children each, they are pooped!!  LOL!

A Letter from Tebby~ Feb 2011

Little Tebby even wrote to Morgan!!  He says that his mother is very sick.  I hope I get to meet her before she passes away.  It seems like time is against us, but I will pray that she will always have God's comfort.

Creative Writing by Fanwell~ Feb 2011

More great writings from Fanwell =)

A Letter from Fanwell~ Feb 2011

Here is sweet Fanwell!  I really enjoyed his letter because he said that I would like to see the shops where they buy things and his school.  He said that I really care for him, which made me smile.  And he told me about his family. What a sweet young man!!!  Well, I guess he could have been talking about his other sponsor Mack.  LOL!

On Their Way to You!!

The picture above shows my packed mailbox. Those are just a few of the letters that are on their way to their sponsors.  Tons of letters!!!  You will see some of the letters I received in the next few posts.  If you like letters, join our yahoo group. I have a database that shows you which unsponsored children have written to their potential sponsors.  Once sponsored, those letters get mailed to the sponsor immediately!!  You can see the children available for sponsorship here: http://www.childhopezambia.blogspot.com/

A Letter from Mutinta

Another pumpkin letter =)  I really enoyed this one as I did not know when they harvest and plant.  Very good information!

A Letter from Daniel

It is interesting that 9 year old Daniel asks if we have cotton in America.  I didn't know they have cotton crops in Zambia!  We are both learning from each other!  What a beautiful world we live in!

A Letter from Elie

Elie is a sweetheart.  She didn't write much in this letter, but it is always fun to hear about what she likes.  With a superpower, she would like to make a garden because she loves vegetables =)  Too cute!

Letter from Fanwell

Twelve year old Fanwell is a child that I share with Mack.  He has been extremely ill but looks much better now that he has been sponsored for a few months.  I am waiting for the results of his medical exam, but he will get treatment for anything that ails him.  I am anxious to see how he improves after a year or so of sponsorship.
