Claude
Edna
These are my sponsored kids from Africa New Life. Kids I'll be meeting in the next couple of weeks. I can't tell you how excited I am to meet them and spend time with their families while in Rwanda.
Claude is 8 years old and lives in the capital city of Kigali. He has a brother and a sister and both of his parents are HIV positive and will most likely die soon. He loves school and is eager to learn, especially numbers. He loves to play soccer as well, so maybe he can teach me a thing or two. I will have a chance to spend some time with him and possibly do some shopping with the family to help them get some things that they need. What an honor to get to meet him and his family!
Edna is also 8 years old and lives in the village of Kayonza. She attends the school that Africa New Life has operates in her village. She also loves to play soccer and her favorite subject in school is English. Both of her parents are peasants an were not able to send her to school. I'll also get to meet her and her family and spend time with them.
Meeting my sponsored kids is what I am most excited about. I can't wait to just hug and love on them; to make our relationship personal. It still is amazing to think that my $35 a month is enough to give them nutritious food daily, send them to school, provide their supplies, and give medical care when it is needed. Also, through one child in the family being sponsored, others are able to benefit. I love that God is able to take that money and make it go so far. I'm so thankful that I am able to help, even just a couple of families. I just know I'm going to want to take them home with me.
