It is an experience I am sure each of us sponsors truly wishes we could have in person–meeting and sharing time with the children we know through letters; but in lieu of that, your words have transported us “there” in a very heartfelt way.

This is a beautiful story. You were so descriptive I felt like I was on that trip with you. It brought back memories of my trip to Kenya in 2008
It looks like we have 2 things in common: CFCA and HFH.
I sponsor a beautiful 15 year old girl in Kenya and was fortunate to be able to visit her during a MAT. At the end of the trip I visited the Habitat for Humanity headquarters in Nairobi. I am very involved with HFH here at home and would love to participate in a Global Village trip.
Are you planning a trip to the Philippines to visit your other sponsored child? Like you I had difficulty justifying the expense. I thought that the money could be put to better use by donating it, but once I had that face-to face meeting it changed my point of view. I have also visited my other child in Bolivia and it was an experience I will never forget. Thanks to CFCA for bringing us together.
God Bless you.
Bridget Burpee
