Post from Barbara:You may remember Mario from previous posts when he, his mother and sister were forced to leave their home due to domestic violence. They are now living in rental accommodation but since they were left with few possessions instead of sending frivolous Easter gifts this year I sent a mixture of school and hygiene supplies which the family said they needed. This is what Mario wrote.
"Dear Sponsor Barbara:
I am happy to greet you and hope that you are fine and healthy and blessed in your work. Madrina, we were really scared about the earthquake; today, March 11th, 2010 we still can feel aftershocks in Chile. Well, I am already attending school and hoping this year is better.
Madrina, thank you very much for the Easter card, photos and gifts [a mixture of hygiene products and school supplies, a sewing kit and Easter candle for his mother; plus a plastic dinosaur in his favourite colour - green]. Thanks for everything. I send you a kiss and a hug. Mario and family."
This was the first letter that I have received since the tragic earthquake so it was good to hear that, apart from the trauma they went through he and his family appear to be well.
Cheers
Barbara
