Updated photo of Zymvra!

We became the correspondence sponsors to 12 year old Zymvra on December 26, 2012.  He is from the Philippines.  In January we received a letter from him (addressed to his financial sponsors and written before we were even assigned to him) so we know he writes in English, and seems like he'll be a good little writer. 

Here is the picture that showed up when we first got him:

Now today when I went on our account, I saw what looked like a new guy....but it was just Zymvra's photo update! 

Below is his new picture, showing him to look more like a 12 (almost 13) year old!

He's definitely growing up and looks like he maybe grew a little taller too.  He's a cutie and I can't wait to hear from him some more (since I know I have another letter from him on the way....not sure if this one is directed at his previous sponsors or us though, so we'll find out!).
