Carlos & Claritza with their gifts

Meet Alice's 1st sponsored child Claritza!

Alice began sponsoring Claritza in August 2005 (3 years later, she took on Claritza's brother Carlos who will be featured later). At only 5 1/2 years old, she just wrote her first letter to Alice! It is short, but very sweet... And considering she is ONLY 5 years old, I think it is beautiful! This is what she wrote:

Dear Sponsor Alice,

I am happy to know that someone love me so much as you do. I am happy because I can do the letters by myself. I recieved your gift. Thank you so much. I hope to know you someday. With so much love say bye, Claritza
