My Son Has A New Brother

Some of you may remember that my 10 years old Edwyn wish for Christmas was that I would help him sponsor a child through World Vision.
We are now very proud to introduce his newly "adopted" brother: Jeewan Chaudhary 
Jeewan is a 9 years old boy living in Nepal. His family is very poor and he was not able to go to school but has had to work helping his father to gather food for the whole family since the age of 5.
With Edwyns sponsoring he will be enrolled in a special program by World Vision called Kailali Project and will be able to go to school . His family will be assisted with fund to start farming work .
Cheers
Annette

What a sweet looking boy and what a nice thing your son is doing for him. Who knows, perhaps one day they'll even meet one another.

Thanks everyone for your kind words
Edwyn is taking out $1 each day from his lunch money for Jeewan. The cost for sponsoring is $39 per month. So I give him $9 each month to make up the short fall.
Edwyn says that having $1 less for lunch means that he wont be able to get the chips, but he is amazed that that $1 can feed Jeewan, pay for his schooling and help his family too.
I am glad he is learning the value of money and how a little sacrifice can mean so much to another little boy.

Edwyn's a fine boy, Annette. I think it's amazing that a young fellow has such compassion and such a strong sense of responsibility for others.
You ought to be very proud of him. I know you are.
Best always,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Edwyn, you're very special, you know. The world needs more young people like you and your brother. Thank you for choosing to give back, and making this world a better place. I know your parents are very proud, and so are all of us.
