Well provided by World Vision. The lady has AIDs and almost died, but is doing much better due to medical and housing assistance.
Timuoneletu is the first sponsored child of ours that we visited. Her father is on the right. She greeted us with "good morning" in English and later walked at least a couple miles to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for a new school building. We had lunch with her and her father in the school that she attends, which was recently built by World Vision with funds from our church.
Doreen, our 2nd sponsored child, checking out a coloring book with her father. She was young and seemed a little shocked by the experience. She has an older sister and baby twin brothers. The presence of baby twins puts her in danger of malnutrition.Musicians at the school ground breaking ceremony. Note the instruments, including a guitar made out of a gas can.
A fish farm to help diversify income and add nutrition to the diet (consisted primarily of maize previously). Again, with assistance from World Vision.
Children watching us from the far side of a river. World Vision is assisting the farmers with irrigation, allowing two growing seasons each year.

How neat that you could meet your children and parents too! You'll understand how to pray for them better now.
Okay, that brought tears to my eyes. To see in person the impact that your support is having on the lives of these people is awesome. I just love the pictures of you both with the children.
The kiddos are so beautiful and Danielle looks so happy in the photo of you two meeting the first one. To actually get to meet them in person must have been awesome!
The music was so cool too. How incredible that they could play like that with instruments they made from those materials. Wonderful!
