New Kids I'm Advocating For...

I recently requested four packets to advocate for some more kids for Compassion International (I requested countries that I have kids in so that hopefully when sharing with friends/family I can connect with them that way too).  Please let me know if any of these kids tug at your heart and I can get you signed up with them.  Please feel free to share these with others too.  Thanks so much!

Here they are:

Muhoza

14 year old boy from Rwanda.  His birthday is April 2, 1999.  His child ID # is RW-636-0291.  He lives with his mother and there are 6 kids in the family so I'm sure they could use some help!  His shoes look very dirty/old in the packet picture.







Jineesh

This is a 3.5 year old little cutie from India.  His birthday is October 9, 2009.  His ID # is IN-774-0189.  He lives with his father and mother and there are two kids in the house.It says he is in kindergarten (seems young so maybe they mean preschool?) and he likes playing with friends.




Jackline

She is 10 years old (11 soon!) from Tanzania.  Her birthday is June 28, 2002 and her child ID # is TZ-952-0084.  She lives at home with her mother and there are two kids in the family.  She likes playing house, art, and dolls.  She has a beautiful dress on (hard to tell from these small head shot type pictures I find online here).




Juana 

She is a 9 (almost 10) year old beauty from Peru.  Her birthday is August 27, 2003 and her child ID # is PE-546-0150.  She lives with her father and mother and there are two kids in the family.  She likes playing house and dolls.




Please pray that I can find sponsors for these children.  Let me know you need more info on any of them.  Please either message me on here, or send me an email to ca85@yahoo.com if you would like to sponsor them.  Thanks!

Happy May 1st!

Time flies!  I can't believe its May 1st already...especially with the weather we've been having here in MN.  Snow, more snow, two warm days, and now rain/snow again today.  I can't wait for the real spring to start!

I wanted to remind people to check out my Etsy shop and to use the code:  Churchill10 to receive 10% off your order.  I posted a few more burp rags/bibs as well as a cool new scarf design, plus lowered the prices on a few things too so this will be a really good deal for you!

My Compassion International Updates:

As of last month I had 2 sponsored kids, and 8 correspondence kids.  Then the first week of April I got a call from Compassion saying that the sponsors of our correspondence girl named Flor had dropped her sponsorship.  We had the option of picking up her sponsorship or letting someone else pick her up.  After praying and thinking about it, we decided to pick up her sponsorship to continue to be able to write to her (we've yet to get a letter back, but fingers crossed it will be soon!).  So that now brings our numbers to 3 sponsored kids and 7 correspondence kids. 

We love them all so much.

Have a wonderful May!
