When my children come home from school the first place they head is to the kitchen for food because they think they’re starving. Of course they do not pick the healthiest choices available to them, but as a mom, I do what I can.
When I think of the possibility of them coming home to an empty pantry, or them telling me they’re hungry and there’s nothing I can give them to comfort their hunger, it makes me very sad.
In the Dominican Republic less than half of the sponsored children’s parents are steadily employed because they lack marketable skills. This makes it almost impossible for them to afford items like healthcare, education, clothing, shoes or even food for their children. These are often painful limitations that may hold the child back or prevent them from realizing their own potential.
Hello Dear Mrs. Nieman,
This is Felipe writing on behalf of your sponsored child José. José is very happy to be able to write for telling you what activities and places he likes the most. José likes to run very much. He likes the ice cream. He likes coloring and he likes to ride bikes. He likes to go to the park. His favorite food is fried ripe banana. He likes to eat a lot of rice. Thank you for all you do for your sponsored child!
-With love says good bye of you, José and his aunt, Felipe
I am very grateful that there are organizations that help the millions of children in the world like Daichela and José. Though they may live in poverty, these children have been entered into a sponsorship program that is there to assist with the simplest pantry supplies to help feed their hungry tummies with things like ice cream, fried ripe bananas and rice.

Well...fried bananas and ice cream....children all over the world seem to prefer the unhealthy food. :)
My kids always want to go to Pizza in the Dominican. If you go, Dominoes is terrible. Wait until Pizza Hut opens if you are at the mall. lolololo
