 Hi guys...I miss you....but I feel great about what
 I am doing here outside of work~  My roommate and I
 found 20 sponsors for 20 poor children in a village
 called Sorata.  They have no electrify or running
 water and we met them over the weekend and gave them
 their 1st months payment!  I have never experienced
 such happiness!  We spend 40 dollars on a shirt when
 this is a whole month of living for these people!
 Attached is a picture of all of the mothers with the
 sponsored children...some don't have fathers!  It's
 soo sad but it feels great to help!  WE will be
 directly in charge of taking them to purchase their
 needs and distribute the money to them...thanks to
 everyone that helped and those of you who are
 interested there are lots more who need help!
