Letter from Bangladesh

Recently I received a letter from my sponsor child, Lalita, in Bangladesh. It was such a joy as I began opening the letter as it was the first letter I have received from her. Lalita is 10¾ years old, her birthday is in July ( like yours truly ) and loves playing jump rope. In her letter she mentioned her favourite food, her family and her dreams for the future- to be a teacher one day. As a result of being sponsored, she goes to school,is given enough food, has regular health check ups, and most importantly, she learns about who Jesus is through the program she attends in her village.

Most houses where she lives are made from mud walls,dirt floors and thatch roofs. 1/2 of her community is unemployed. So as you see, things do look bleak for her and the community she lives in, but with sponsoring her, she has something to look forward to, hope. She now has hope for a better future. Even though it may hard to comprehend everything that goes on where she lives, I am glad I can make a small difference in her life.
