Every day here is completely new and different from the day before. I have been so blessed by every person that has come across my path, and I am so thankful for every second here.
Today I was able to meet my sponsor child, Dorothea. She lives in a poor village called Cheresig, but it is still leaps and bounds above the village we visited yesterday. Cheresig is not considered a “gypsy village” because it is mixed with Romanians, Roma, and even some Hungarians, though the gypsy people are still secluded at the back of the town.
Hope 4 Kids has been teamed with the village for several years now and we were able to see before and after pictures; the change is incredible. They now have a set school, church and lead pastor, and even an after school “daycare” service (sort of). As opposed to the craziness of yesterday, these children were well mannered, polite, and civilized. A select few could even speak a few words of English.
After some searching for my little girl, I found myself in front of the smallest and shyest child in the village. I spent most of the day with her, and it was such a wonderful feeling to be able to hold her hand in mine.
There are so many kids in these villages that need sponsors. It is just a dollar a day and it goes directly to the needs of the children for school, food, and necessities. You may recognize this adorable little boy from my post yesterday. I absolutely fell in love with him. That smile never leaves his face and his eyes could melt even the hardest hearts.
I have heard some amazing stories about how much of a difference a sponsor has made in these kids lives. It isnt just about the money. It is letting them know that there is someone out there who loves and supports them. Please consider taking him on. I am on a mission.
