Meet Efrain's 9th sponsored child Alyson Rebeca!

Efrain's own words:

Alyson is my nineth sponsored child with Children International, my seventeenth sponsored child ever, and my most recent sponsorship. Alyson was another impulsive sponsorship. Almost exactly what happened with Rovelyn, happened with her. I entered CI homepage and right there was her picture. Her smile bought me (as opposed to Rovelyn who did it with her innocent eyes). Alyson is seven years old. She lives in Ecuador with her father,mother, three brothers and two sisters. Alyson doesn't write her own letters yet. Her first letter was written by her mother. She says that Alyson is very loving with the whole family; that she likes to help in the house; that she likes to draw and paint. She likes the red color; and her favorite fruits are banana and apple. I once asked CI to take pictures of Carolyn with her family. Those pictures show a very sweet girl, the prettiest among all of her siblings. She smiled broadly and brightly. Those pictures also show a house made of canes that looks very weak. I'll see what I could do about it.
