Sponsor Surprise

Well, well, well....something happened today that completely made me smile.

I received my first letter from our sponsor child (Claudia - from Guatemala). Unfortunately, I still do NOT know if she received our birthday gift - but her letter DID say that she received a little parcel with a bunch of stickers I sent her!!!

I am SO happy!

On the other end of the spectrum, with the proceeds from our lemonAID sale we sponsored a new child.

This time, Isabelle and Noah decided WHO we would sponsor. Their first choice was a little boy we sponsored is from Kampala, Uganda and his name is Sekalema INNOCENT (seriously about his last name - and part of the reason the kiddos were SO excited to choose Sekalema). He is 6 years old and loves soccer and hide & seek. In the photo below, Sekalema is the little boy on the bottom left with the BIG, HUGE smile!

We sponsored Sekalema through Christian Upliftment Nursery & Primary School for only $35 for the ENTIRE year!

If I hadn't said it before now, I will say it again: I AM SO PROUD OF MY KIDDOS for their dedication and perseverance while selling the lemonade for almost 6 hours!!!
