(I mean, until one of mine graduated from the program or left, hopefully years from now.) But I couldn't stop thinking about Tatiana. I'd had my eye on her for at least a month and I'd check the CI website every time I logged on to see if she was still there. Finally, on Friday night I decided that with my new job and pay raise, I could definitely afford to sponsor her, so what the heck was I waiting for? I sponsored her on the 3rd, and because of the long weekend, her information just showed up on my CI page this morning. Here's all about Tatiana: she's 12 years old, born on December 25, 1997. (A Christmas birthday! My half-sister has a Christmas Eve birthday, so that's another special thing that I didn't even think about before.) Tatiana is from Cartagena, Colombia. She's 4'2" tall and weighs 53 lbs. She attends school, where her favorite subjects are reading and math. She likes to play with dolls and draw, and at home her chores are washing dishes. Tatiana's family record is a bit mysterious. Her mother, Delfina, is a homemaker- no mystery there. However, her father is also listed as present, and it says that Tatiana lives with "Parents", but the father's name is listed as "Desconocido", which means "unknown". So I believe that Tatiana is being raised by a single mother. I'm not sure why exactly the form is filled in the way it is, but I guess with thousands of children and thousands of forms, sometimes things get done a little unusually.  A bit of a mystery, and I am sure that if I asked CI they would get someone from the field office to clarify it, but it's not a pressing issue for me. Anyway, Tatiana also has four brothers: Miguel and Omar are both 14, Carlos is 12, and Luis Eduardo is 10. The family's monthly income is just $75. The home consists of one multi-use room, with wood walls, a corrugated metal roof, and a dirt floor. They sleep on wooden beds, cook on a portable gas stove, and use non-regulated electricity. Their water source is a neighbor's faucet, and their sanitary facility is an open field. I'm very glad that I decided to sponsor Tatiana! And I really need to stop browsing the CI website or I'll end up with 100 sponsored children! Not that that would be bad, if I could afford it, ha ha.   I wasn't going to sponsor any more children...I really wasn't.

In the 28 years that Children International has been operating in Tabaco, Philippines, volunteers have been there from the start. Today, their role in realizing our mission of serving underprivileged children is as significant as it was back then. Mostly mothers and fathers of sponsored children, each volunteer plays a significant role in delivering vital services to the children and communities we serve. There are volunteers assisting at the clinic, conducting health and nutrition classes, administering medicines during anti-parasite campaigns and to Pulmonary Tuberculosis patients, and sector volunteers who help in community organizing. [image] Among these tireless individuals is Sharon Dacuno, a mother of two sponsored children living in far away Batan Island. She started volunteering for CI 3 years after it began in Tabaco – that was way back in 1987! From then, she has probably held every volunteer position there is: secretary, coordinator, extension health worker, barefoot doctor and now, a sector volunteer. In the 23 years of her volunteer service, she has undergone several trainings that prepared her for her changing roles. The knowledge and experience she has gained through all these years had not only helped her carry out her duties well but also developed her as a person. “Before I started volunteering, I was very timid and I can barely participate in public discussions but after years of exposure, I learned to become confident enough to speak in a crowd. Being a volunteer made me a better person. Now, I am no longer just a housewife…I felt empowered,” she says. Sharon also shared some of her unforgettable moments as a volunteer which include bringing her baby along on the field and being caught by a storm at sea while carrying out her duties. She explains that her continuous service to CI is her way of giving back for all the help her family has received. With the help of sponsorship, her eldest is now a Civil Engineer. A small income family struggling to raise five kids and dreaming of giving them a bright future needs all the help it can get that is why Sharon is deeply grateful to CI. Being a volunteer for more than two decades, she had her share of challenges but she didn’t let any of it stop her. “I’m happy with what I’m doing that’s why I’m still here. Somehow, volunteering makes me feel that I’m doing my part in realizing a greater good and that makes me feel good inside.” She added that the friendships developed with other volunteers over the years are invaluable and they have become their own unique support group. From only 17 children in 1987, there are now more than a hundred sponsored children in her small island community. For Sharon, “as long as there are children to serve,” she will be a CI volunteer - always ready with her warm, toothy smile.

Without going into too much detail, Josep has physical deformaties and a mental handicap.  He is not recieving any special services or treatment for his conditions, as these things aren't "curable" by any means, and they don't deem him as "sick".  Furthermore, according to his education report, he cannont be in school as he becomes very anxious, cries and has other problems, even only attending two days a week.  It appears his mother has tried multiple times and it doesn't work out, so she is content to have him at home, learning from his sibling. I understand that he is in a community where there aren't many special services and accomadations for a boy like him.  Also, I believe he's in a rural community, so there would be even less options available.  I feel the mother has done what she can, and is doing her best by him, so I don't hold her accountable for my feelings at all.  It is frustrating, because of course here in America, a child like him would have physical therapies, some sort of play therapy or emotional support, as well as special education and likely an aid to work with him one on one.  So I am am left feeling rather helpless/hopeless for his future, as I understand that these things cannot be provided for him, and there is really nothing more I can do for him in those regards. Also, I don't know what I can send to him, by way of stickers, etc, as I still don't know what level he is mentally functioning on.  His dexterity is likely not very good, he hasn't the use of his left hand at all.  Of course, it IS a benefit to his future to be a part of C.I. and get nutrition help, medical check ups, etc.  I'm not saying he is not going to ever advance in his life.  It is just saddening to see the lack of opportunities that he has compared to the standards that *I* am used to. As I said, I'm still waiting on the SNG report, so hopefully there is something there that I can help to provide for him.  Otherwise I feel like there isn't much that I can do for him.   Sometimes it's hard to remember that we need to look at helping our sponsored kids in the terms of their community and their country, and not in terms of how it would be done in our own country.

We have been able to pass the mail box with just a quick look into it without trying to remove the bottom or side walls to see if anything was hidden there. Our mailman has even smiled, knowing that we wouldn't attack him for a while. Nevertheless we got mail!!! Geraldine has written her 4th letter to us in 3 months! This is not a welcome letter, it's not a thank you letter, it's not a 90-day-rule letter. This is a letter written by our sponsored girl in Guayaquil, just because she wants to share her life with us!! I don't think she has got any idea of how much this special letter means to us! If we have ever had "special needs" this is the greatest gift she could ever provide us with! The letter: .......I will tell you that I went to Manta where I played a lot with my friends, we were riding a bicycle, played with the dolls and played in the park among other things. After that I went to the bay with my whole family and the next day I went to the beach with my cousins. Then we ate ceviches and encebollado and my family and I were very happy because all of the fun we had......

This is not a welcome letter, it's not a thank you letter, it's not a 90-day-rule letter. This is a letter written by our sponsored girl in Guayaquil, just because she wants to share her life with us!! I don't think she has got any idea of how much this special letter means to us! If we have ever had "special needs" this is the greatest gift she could ever provide us with! The letter: .......I will tell you that I went to Manta where I played a lot with my friends, we were riding a bicycle, played with the dolls and played in the park among other things. After that I went to the bay with my whole family and the next day I went to the beach with my cousins. Then we ate ceviches and encebollado and my family and I were very happy because all of the fun we had......

Anyway, It's always, always, always worth the waiting![image] Daniel got his soccer ball! That was the only thing we specified as a wish when we sent the money. The rest was for CI to decide what to buy. I am so happy for the things he got. From the pictures (yes, yes, the scanner....bla, bla, bla) it seems that clothes and shoes are of a good quality, I think it's important - things that can stand a 9 - year old boy's 'treatment'. And now the letter:......I want to thank you for all the things you send me that are a pair of school shoes, a long sleeve t-shirt, a sport suit, a box of underpants, a pair of sneakers and a soccer ball. I am super (!) happy because I'll be able to play with my friends. Well, I want to tell you I'm on winter school break and did very well at school.My family sends much regards to you and your family. I say goodbye "con mucho cariño" (much affection) Your sponsored child Daniel The report says that Daniel was very happy for the items received, especially for the soccer ball and the sneakers. And later that "it is a very useful donation, he needed the clothes and shoes, and he's happy to have a soccer ball and new sneakers to play with."On the pictures he is wearing a wintercoat and ear pads (is that the right word? - to keep the ears warm!) He looks so sweet!!! It's cold in Valparaíso, about 13º C = 55 F. When we sent the money we were near 40º = 104F here in Spain. We didn't really think about that he lives "on the other side of the world" even if we have noticed the temperatures from time to time. Maybe we should have asked for a better winter coat, but again, would it have made him super happy?

The report was made the 27th of July, but Spain is unfortunately on holiday in August, so things just don't happen or are slowed down so much that we received the report the 30th of August! Anyway, It's always, always, always worth the waiting![image] Daniel got his soccer ball! That was the only thing we specified as a wish when we sent the money. The rest was for CI to decide what to buy. I am so happy for the things he got. From the pictures (yes, yes, the scanner....bla, bla, bla) it seems that clothes and shoes are of a good quality, I think it's important - things that can stand a 9 - year old boy's 'treatment'. And now the letter:......I want to thank you for all the things you send me that are a pair of school shoes, a long sleeve t-shirt, a sport suit, a box of underpants, a pair of sneakers and a soccer ball. I am super (!) happy because I'll be able to play with my friends. Well, I want to tell you I'm on winter school break and did very well at school.My family sends much regards to you and your family. I say goodbye "con mucho cariño" (much affection) Your sponsored child Daniel The report says that Daniel was very happy for the items received, especially for the soccer ball and the sneakers. And later that "it is a very useful donation, he needed the clothes and shoes, and he's happy to have a soccer ball and new sneakers to play with."On the pictures he is wearing a wintercoat and ear pads (is that the right word? - to keep the ears warm!) He looks so sweet!!! It's cold in Valparaíso, about 13º C = 55 F. When we sent the money we were near 40º = 104F here in Spain. We didn't really think about that he lives "on the other side of the world" even if we have noticed the temperatures from time to time. Maybe we should have asked for a better winter coat, but again, would it have made him super happy?
