Jason meeting his Sponsors

In March, Glenn and Linda got the opportunity to go to their sponsored child's home and meet not only him, but also his family and neighbors. Here is what Linda says about the experience:
"We loved being able to meet Jason and his siblings at their home- I think it is wonderful for him to be able to have faces and words of encouragement so that he can understand how important education is. It was so cute that he was so worried about the police blockade so he was going there to help us get through- the neighbors understood how important it was for him to meet us so off they went on their motorcycle to find him- up he pulled- very clean in still pressed clothes and his hair with a little gel in it- we must be very important!!!- we played and gave him some clothes and toys along with lots of toothpaste and toothbrushes- his little brother is a pistol!! very cute with lots of personality- hopefully he will get sponsored next year so he will stay in school also- his mother was not home because she was working but that helped to confirm how important it is to sponsor Jason-"

Saying goodbye.
It truly was a terrific experience watching the interactions between Jason, Glenn and Linda. Though they could hardly communicate without a translator, there was so much love in the air. What a fortunate little boy he is to have such wonderful people supporting his future!
Thank you Glenn and Linda for your continued support!
