Carolina is Efrain's first sponsored child through Children International. The reason the other kids with the other organization are not shown is because the organization does not allow them to be shown. We are very fortunate to have a great organization like Children International that allows so much flexibility, and the opportunity to share our personal sponsorship experiences with each other!!!
Here are Efrain's words:
Carolina is my first sponsored child with Children International and
actually my ninth sponsored child ever. I have been a sponsor since
1992. I have sponsored 8 children through other charity previous to
Carolina, and I still sponsor 3 of them. When the time came when I had
to say goodbye to one of my girls, Maria Eugenia, from the other
charity, I decided that I'll sponsor two new girls from CI to replace
my beloved Maria. Carolina was one of them.

Carolina is a beautiful blonde green-eyed little girl from the
Dominican Republic. Her yearly pictures have always shown a very shy
girl. She lives with her mother and a younger sister. She is still too
young to write her letter by herself. I'm already encouraging her to
do so. I want her to write her own letters by herself as soon as she's
able to. The communication is always more personal and satisfying when
the child writes her own letters.
