Michelle of Blogging from the Boonies is a shamelessly bad person! I simply MUST stop reading her blog! Wainaina from Kenya is a result of one of her posts, Theresa from Ghana is a result of one of her posts, Kwagala from Uganda, with whom I share sponsorship (a whole bunch of us help sponsor her) is a result of one of her posts. The other day she posted photos of orphans who are waiting for sponsors. I was just going to look. You know how that goes. It's like going to the store for milk and coming home with nothing but milk.
I truly was NOT going to sponsor another child, but look at this face.
This is Josephat, who is 7 years old, an orphan being raised in a home with his sister and three others. I looked at the pain on that little face, with puffy dark circles under his eyes, and my heart melted. So I am now sponsoring Josephat. I don't have his information yet, other than his age, that he's from Kenya, and his picture, but I will be writing more about him in the coming months.
This is really the last. I absolutely, positively cannot afford another child!

I've said "absolutely, positively" not many times. I now have 12 children!!!!! And I'm eyeing one of Michelle's orphans, too. I love these kids!!!

This post made me smile, Bev! Love it! Josphat is adorable and I am sure he will be so happy to hear that he has been chosen by you! <3
ReplyDeleteI also know the feeling of "I truly was NOT going to sponsor another child!" I've gone from one child to six in the last year. I completely understand, haha.
ReplyDeleteJosphat is so sweet. That face! I am so happy for you!
