Project #8 for Alia Thank you

The child together with her mother was SURPRISED on the gifts given by the sponsor. Accordingly, this is the 1st time that the child received this kind of assistance. The gifts given were already indicated in the previous inquiry memo sent by the sponsor. Thus the family was so very glad that the inquiry was granted and that their proposed IGP will be materialized. With this, they wished to extend their heartfelt thanks to the sponsor for sharing them this precious blessing.

The assistance given to Alia Rose’s family is very significant not only to the child but to her family as well. The income generating project which is the fish vending will give the father extra job taking into consideration that he only engages in an on and off construction works. With the fish vending activity this will augment the income of the family. In addition, the footwear of the sponsored child will be useful for her personal needs. This will also replace the old ones. On the other hand, the groceries will supplement the needs of the family for food for a certain period of time. So, the family was THANKFUL to the sponsor because the inquiry was realized into special donation

Alia Rose

“Thank you for sending this assistance to me and my family. This is a very big help that you can give me because it will really add on to the income of my family"

Update to Project #8 for Alia

I promised an update as soon as I got it, so here it is... Alia's family has decided that they want to do an income generating project! They want a small fish business, and you won't believe how much this will cost... brace yourselves... $110!!! Wilfredo is adding an extra $10 to her fundraiser, so here is the new breakdown of what will be purchased with the $210 raised:
items
fish (variety of fresh fish)
bowl
styrofoam
chopping board
weighing scale
pail
Total cost= $110

The second part of the fundraiser, the $100 will go to get things that the family is in need of most. This could be food, clothes for Alia, or a number of different things. When we get the pictures back from Ci, it will be exciting to see what they chose to buy with the money.
Thank you, everyone for supporting Wilfredo and Alia in this fundraising project!

Fundraiser #8!

A message from Alia's sponsor Wilfredo:

I am so excited be able to help raise funds for Alia and her family. Alia is from Manilia, Phillippines. She is 9 years old and has a brother, age5 and has two sisters, one age 3 and a newborn. Her father (Age: 36) is alaborer and mother (Age: 29) is a housekeeper. The Family's monthly incomeis only $ 38 Dollars a month. Alia's home has a palm leaf as a roof anduses a community pump for water and a community latrine.

Alia is a very smart young lady. According to CI, she has made it to honorsclasses in school. In her letters she explains school is very important to her and she studies hard to get good grades. Alia also helps her mom with heryounger siblings and around the house. She expresses her appreciation for all that I do to support her.

Based on the information that was provided to me, I would like to raise moneyto help improve their lives. CI has informed me they are in desperate need of food and would like to have some clothes for Alia and maybe pots/appliance.

(The special needs request should be back from the field any day now, and the exact break down of what the money will be used for will be added to the page when received.)

Thank you again for supporting Alia and her Family. They will be so grateful for the funds raised.
