This is Katherine.  She is 8 years old and lives in Guayaquil with her grandparents and parents and sibings.  She has 5 siblings!  Her brothers and sisters consist of Hilda 16, Carlos 15, Odalis 10, Willian 3, and Jhon 6 months.  They have an income of $200.  Her father Pedro is a laborer, and her mother Maciello stays home with the kids.  Their house is split cane with a wood floor and corrugated metal for a roof.  They have wooden beds and running water.

Katherine also likes to write nice, descriptive letters like all my other kids in Ecuador.  She told me that she won first place in a dance competition in school!  I am wondering if dance lessons may be something I could provide!  In her first letter her mom did not have her baby brother yet so she told me she was excited.  She then later told me how "he is very handsome but doesn't look like a baby of his age".  She loves to listen to music and take walks with her dad.  She seems like a very bright and happy child.
