New Family Member: October 11, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — adalbec @ 8:38 pm

I would like to introduce you to a new member of our family.  His name is Raimundo Azevedo Jose and he is from Mozambique, Africa.  Raimundo and his family live in a community severely affected by the HIV/AIDS crisis.  He is 13 years old and cannot be in school because his mother needs his help in taking care of his other brother and three sisters.  I am so happy that my mom and dad decided to sponsor this child from the organization entitled World Vision.  My mom said she specifically picked a child from Africa who was in a crisis-bound AIDS place because of me.  I am so happy that they see my ambition and desire to help and that they are doing their small part to make a difference in this world.

    Awesome news! I’ve always wanted to sponsor a child and this post reminded me of that and made me realize there is absolutely no reason for me not to. So hopefully I will have my own child soon too! :)
