I know I am a bit late in posting, but have received 5 letters from my beautiful girls from the Philippines last week. Irish, Jessalen, Joyselle, Maria and Lorelyn.
I am so amazed how well they write, although English is not their first language. I was so busy over the weekend replying to their letters. I have written to all and have mailed photos to Lorelyn and Irish directly to CI as I have included a couple of family photos.
I am just waiting until the best airfares are coming out as I have made up my mind visiting either the Philippines (April or May) or Colombia. Hubby always says "Whatever" but I mean it that this time I will book the flight, either he is coming with me or not. I know it sounds cruel.

Letters!!
Today I have received the introductory letters of my two new Filippino girls, Irish Mae and Lorelyn.
I am very impressed by the letter of Irish Mae and she wrote in perfect English. She and her mom are welcoming me into the family, she will be in grade 5 in June and likes the colour pink.
Lorelyn will be in grade 3 and lives with her mom and two siblings. In her bio she has a 14 year old sister. Maybe she has an older sibling or a little baby brother or sister. I will ask her in my next letter. Also, she is walking to school as it is not far. Her letter was short, but sweet.
I also received a reply to my January letter from Karol (Colombia. I am just so impressed by this 6 year old. She writes very good letters, her handwriting is very neat and she tells me that she is so happy for having a "madrina". A reply is on the way to her as well.

Meet Lorelyn
I was so bored over the weekend and checked again CI's website. I know browsing is very bad and I have pressed the "sponsor me" button again. As you can imagine I cannot keep away from the Philippines!!. The kids, especially girls, are so adoreable!!
Well, Lorelyn lives with her mum and her older sister in a one multi use room. Dad is no longer alive. She sleeps on the floor on a mat. Her mum is working as a street vendor and makes just $20 a month. I am Lorelyn's first sponsor and she has been waiting for over a year. I cannot wait to get to know her.
