My New Friend

I've recently became a proud sponsor of a Myanmar girl thru Worldvision. It was something which I wanted to do for a long time but never really knew how to go about doing it.

We weren't allowed to choose the gender of the sponsored child, but I hoped for a girl & I got one. I chose Myanmar because it is close to home which will give me more opportunity to visit her in the future. Her name's Tin Tin Oo (thank gawd it's not a mouthful), she's a 9 year-old who lives with her parents & 2 siblings. I was so pleasantly surprised when I got a handwritten note from her.

Life is tough in her part of the world and I hope my mere RM50 monthly support will help her keep healthy, finish school & be a respectable person.

I'll definitely write to her...snail mail style.
