Birthday Gifts 2011

It's hard to predict what will happen when you send a D.P. to your sponsored child. This birthday box from Bernie and Barbara was mailed well before the easter package, yet it got to Paola a month later.

Easter Gifts 2011

Once again we have Barbara to thank for ensuring that we always have fresh photos of Paola and her sisters!







Here is the letter that Barbara received, along with a list of the package contents:



"Dear Barbara Rogers



The girl Paola is very happy to receive the gifts you sent her, she thanks you very much for your attentions to her. Paola is very happy to see the gifts: she loved the dress and rabbit ears both of which she wore right away. She liked the blanket as well as all the accessories. Paola thanks you and all your family. She sends you a kiss and an hug."



att. Mayra Gonzalez"



And in the additional comments Mayra wrote. "Paola looked so happy for all the gifts she received from her sponsor."
