Support People http://saveachild.blogdrive.com/archive/11.html Mon, 02 Oct 2006 22:25:19 GMT I received the following from Save the Children today: http://saveachild.blogdrive.com/comments?id=11 http://saveachild.blogdrive.com/archive/10.html Wed, 03 May 2006 01:54:57 GMT Since I have now returned home to San Diego and have finally managed to get settled in and all it is time to post some of the things Laila and I have received from Save the Children. Just before I left for the Philippines I received the Save the Children newsletter, but I didn't have time to read it before I left. So I am posting it and what is cool is the one lady Wilma, a featured volunteer was listed in the bulletin. We met her while we were in Tramo. I have a ton of stuff I received from Save the children and I will post is over the next couple of days as I get it scanned...

We started out at 10 AM when Rose Marie and Fred, the driver, dropped by at Laila's house to pick us up. Again the traffic was terrible as MMDA was doing some road works along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA). I am starting to learn the names of some of the cities around here. Anyway near the airport is Tramo, Parañaque City where Sarah and her family live in a...

We have been keeping in touch with Riel Andaluz since I returned from my Christmas visit to Manila where we had applied too late to visit with Sarah. Riel sent me all their forms and I applied for a visit which was accepted. We received our itenerary yesterday, and after getting up early this morning, eating breakfast and then starting to get ready, Pearl told us that someone from Save the Children was at the door. They were an hour early, and we were...

The English translation is: Dear Mr. Hicks Good day sir! I received your letter and am glad that you are my sponsor. How is your teaching? What subjects are you teaching? I hope that you will enjoy your work. Please send my regards to your wife and to your kids. Are you fond of the internet? Me, I enjoy singing.

I live in San Diego, Ca., with my wife Rose and our two youngest children, David and Judy. I am a retired Naval Officer who now attends school as well as teach school. You are actually being sponsored by people that play an internet game called Blogshares. They donate thier game winnings to help sponsor you.

By sponsoring Sarah Alea for several months now, your generousity combined with the support of others is helping to bring real changes to the lives of children in Satrah's community. But your sponsorship has done even more! By letting Sarah know someone cares, you've sent so much more than your financial support - you've sent hope and encouragement. To a child in poverty, that gift can mean more than you can imagine. Building a relationship with your sponsored child is one of sponsorship's richest rewards. Will you tell Sarah a...

Anyway, let me give you a status of where we stand with Save the Children and our adopted girl Sarah. I got a Christmas card from them and I have a picture of Sarah that I still have to scan and post. My scanner is broken and I am not motoring around very well right now, as I have a pinched nerve in my back. I will get this posted when I can. They gave me an e-mail address where I can send things to...
