A long flight to be with my delight lady..

MSC archived stories - April 16, 2017

I just received her new annual photo, and was thinking of the unwary world that she grows up, and then in tears of joy when saw her next to that doll with her beautiful smile.. a truly priceless moment!

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello my dear Juliana,

I wanted you to have this special gift of your new little friend. She came all the way from Scotland just to be with you, and I affectionately call her ‘Dhuwa’ (or Daughter as in my mother tongue). Dolls make the best friends.. just because they can’t speak, doesn’t mean they don’t listen.

When you’re afraid just tell Dhuwa. You can share your worries with her before going to bed, and while you sleep she will take all your troubles away. When you hug her you’ll be getting a hug from me.

You can wear the apron to protect your clothing when eating in or painting using paints and brushes.

You can be anything you want to be. I believe you are and always will be my magical delight lady!

Sweet dreams!

With Love, Chelaka

    I can envision her asking her mom to read her that letter again over and over. Sponsors sometimes wonder what they can do for a child in a short letter, They can do that. Create magic. For a moment of levity, before I opened up the post, I could see her with just the top of the doll's head and I thought she was eating a humungous ice cream cone.

    I just looked at the big photo and saw that her doll's dress has her name on it, "Juliana", how sweet!

    Thank you all for your wonderful compliments. Yes, the embroidery turned out great and to have Juliana's name inscribed on it made it an even bigger treasure! I have added her dad's response to My Media.

Pause for Thought! – The value of sponsorship

MSC archived stories - March 2, 2019 As we know the sponsorship does not demand us to write, send special needs or extra gifts to our children, but being a "silent" sponsor does your monthly contribution bring real value (for money) – especially if you live outside the USA, you or CI don't even get tax benefits of your charitable donation? Is this because most sponsors can't afford anymore than the monthly fee to sponsor a child or trust CI so much that they do not feel needing to play an active role in their sponsored child(ren)'s lives to have an impact?   The sponsorship rewards both sponsor and the child through exchange of letters. Then we have social media platforms, like MSC to share our experiences with fellow sponsors – all can be done for free and bring closer understanding of each other and building friendships for life!   But above all sponsorship motivates your child to attend their community center more often not only for letter reading/writing but a...

Highlight of my 2018:

MSC archived stories -  January 1, 2019 In accordance with Guatemalan tradition, Katerin took a year break from school – just before I met her to celebrate quinceañera (girl celebrating her 15th birthday). She is now one and a half years away from graduating from the CI program. She is full of hopes for the future and determined to do well in studies, even though there were some setbacks in her academic performance in the past, as revealed in Education Report (ER). The ER, however stated that  “we do not recommend the sponsor send extra contribution for Katerin’s education since the risk that she will not be responsible is high.”    I simply could not believe or accept this premise because I trusted her to do well when she came into my care in early 2017. Katerin wanted to learn typing, so she enrolled in a course at the beginning of the year. In a class of 11 students, she’s doing very well and using a typewriter to write in Spanish. And, we were both fortunate enou...
