So here I am at 11:13 p.m. and I just can't hit that pillow, because I need to share more of these children with you. Please email me at suth@telusplanet.net if there is a particular child who you just cannot seem to chase out of your thoughts and your heart. If you do, I will tell you everything I know. From left to right, Vesithra is from India, Ritta is from Uganda, James is from Uganda and Addis is from Ethiopia. Each child is so compelling to me.
Vesithra lives in a country where two women are raped every 60 minutes and where girls as young as nine are forced into arranged marriages. Vesithra will be nine next year. Ritta has no parents to comfort her at night when she has nightmares and no mother to hold her when she is sick. James is so handsome. He lives in a community where the average wage is $3 per month. That means half the people earn less than that. And the lovely little Addis lives in a community where people routinely die from AIDS, the flu, diarrhea and malnutrition.
Well, that is that for tonight. But please pray about these children. Look at them, think about them. And if you want to help one of them, let me know. And they will be yours.
UPDATE: ADDIS AND VESITHRA HAVE BEEN SPONSORED!
