International Family

This letter was also included in the mailing from Children International:

Dear Greg and Wendy,

   I realize you both enjoyed memories from Wendy’s recent trip to the Dominican Republic and the many experiences she brought home to Olathe. Surely, you showed Greg many dear photos so that he too got a sense of the visit you shared with Daichela and Jose.

   With grateful hearts, Daichela and Jose are also reliving the special time you spent together! Your thoughtfulness to send photos of your visit makes your sponsored children sparkle with delight.

   We are told that Daichela told everyone around her just where each photo was taken. Jose was very happy and held the photos with great care! Thank you for further solidifying your special bond!

   Enclosed you will find even more photos of Daichela and Jose – holding photos of you! They each included a handwritten thank you note as well.

   We, at Children International, appreciate seeing how your role has changed from sponsor and recipient to one better described as “international family.”

With warm gratitude,

Kristen

Coordinator of Development

What a great way to describe the relationship change that has taken place.

Receipt of photo books

As part of trying to organize the photos taken during the trip to the Dominican in July, as well as send a few to Daichela and Jose, I put a few of them in a photo book and sent it to them in October. The kids received them and sent thank you notes and photos.

Thanks for the picture album. I hope that you are fine. Thank you for thinking of me. It is very nice. Sponsor, I hope that you and your family are fine. I was very happy for the picture album. I hope that you all are doing well. I am waiting to know more about you and your family.

-Bye from Daichela

Thanks on behalf of Jose Rene and thinking of him. Jose is fine and I hope so you are doing also. Jose Rene greets you and your family. Thanks for the present sent and he became very happy when he received it. I hope that you and your family are fine. Thanks for all.

-Bye from Jose and Felipa, his grandmother

Such big smiles... :)
