This is Jessalen (born 2000) and she is from the Philippines. I am sponsoring her since January 2007 and she tells me that I mean so much to her and calls me "Auntie" as her mom is deceased and her father has abandoned her. Jessalen is living with her legal guardian and the family makes at the moment around $120 a month. She loves reciting poetry and enters competition.
I have bought a bunk bed for her and the family in July 2007 as she was sleeping on a mat on the floor.
Jessalen is actually my second sponsored child as I sponsored a little Mexican girl, Vianey, for only 3 months before her parents pulled her out of the sponsorship programme.
