New little friends

Your feedback regarding your experience through the World Vision AIDS Village is encouraged. Please offer a comment below!

Yesterday was the busiest day yet...I've heard there were close to 800 visitors and there were 80 commitments to sponsorships! That's 80 children who have a new friend who will impact children's lives in significant ways...food, education, health care.....major needs being met through sponsorship. Hurray! And even a greater hurray is the friendship and spiritual connection being birthed through sponsorship. We pray that all sponsors keep their sponsored child close in prayer, in heart, in thought. And letters to the child will help that relationship form even more deeply. You all should meet Millie VanderPool, from World Vision. She carries around a binder with the pictures of her 6 six sponsored children and all of the letters and correspondence included. Just listening to her talk about "her kids" reminds me of being with a grandmother doting on her grandchildren. She's a great example of keeping our sponsored children close to us as we go about our lives in America.
