It's a girl!

...no we aren't pregnant, but I would like to introduce you to someone very special!

If you read my post yesterday  you know how my heart broke hearing about helpless babies and children living in poverty.  Children that have no hope.   The extreme poverty that these children live in breaks.my.heart.  I can't even fathom what they have to go through.  When you see something tragic you can do one of two things... 
1.  You can pretend you didn't see it and go on 
with your day to day life 
or 
2.  You can try to make things better. 

Josh and I want to help, so we've made the decision to become sponsor parents.

Meet Ekua:
How precious is she?!
I just want to give her a hug.

Ekua is 4 years old and lives in a highly Aids-Affected area in the Northeast Cape Coast of Ghana.  When I saw her picture my heart broke for her.
I want to help her.
I want to make her life easier.
...and someday I would love to meet her.

When asked what she would say to people considering child sponsorship Susan said, "I would say that they could save a dying soul, and that soul could save a whole nation."

What if you gave up your lunch once a week? With that money you can change a child's life.   
A child like Ekua.

She is just precious. I've been thinking about sponsoring a child! We'll have to pray about it!

Good for you girl! We are involved in a similar program through our church. It really does take a village to raise a child. Just think how many people you may have persuaded to sponsor a child! Thank you for sharing her sweet pic.
