• Tatiana, from Cartagena, Colom Tatiana, from Cartagena, Colombia

  • From: bammertheblue
  • Description:

    I wasn't going to sponsor any more children...I really wasn't. (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.

• The Waiting Game The Waiting Game

  • From: candace.eve
  • Description:

    I feel a tad bit guilty, but want to know if anyone else feels the same way as I do on occasion.

    It has been a little while since I have gotten a new photo, letter, or update on any of my 5 sponsored children. I have made packages to send them, but I have not actually sent them yet.
    I almost feel like when I am not in contact with them I begin to not to the things I want to do for them. It's not that my care or concern for them changes at all it is like I lose the close connection I usually have with them.

    Any thoughts or words of wisdom will be much appreciated!
    Thanks All

• Elina Elina

  • From: English Rose
  • Description:

    I have been sponsoring Elina since August 2009. CI was making a campaign "end the wait" and she was featured. I was so torn between another very beautiful Colombian girl, Yuselfi (another Lifter -Inga K- is sponsoring her) and Elina and chose her instead as the income was very low and she has been waiting almost 2 years for a sponsor.

    Elina is 8 years old (will be 9 in November), lives with her parents and three brothers in a three bedroom room made out of wood. The income varies between $50 to $80 monthly. They live with extended family (12 in total). They have 6 beds, have electricity and water and a latrine. At the time of sponsorship the family used an open field as their sanitary facilities.

    Her favourite subject is Mathematics and she just wrote me that she is the top student in her class (I only have the best students & cutest girls). Otherwise she likes playing with dolls, drawing and reading.

    Her mom wrote the first 2/3 letters and Elina is now writing all her letters by herself since January and she tells me she loves me very much. She is always drawing hearts with our names in them. And tells me everything!!!
