This little sweetie is part of our lives thanks to Compassion International.  You can find them here.

They are a top-rated, ethical charity.  Take a look at their site if you would like to consider sponsoring a child.  You can select by country, age, gender, and photos.  I’ll tell you… it is not easy to look at all those little faces in the photos and pick just one!

I don’t put this information here to toot my own horn, because I feel blessed to have this opportunity.  Think of the benefits we get as homeschoolers!  You get to give your children the opportunity to connect with and care about a real person who is in need, implement ongoing prayer for this child, and practice writing skills in letters to the child.

And, as if you needed more…. here is the icing on the cake: Drumroll please…. You get YET ANOTHER opportunity to teach and practice Spanish (that is, if you pick a child from Latin America)!!!!!!
