Hi everyone, I found out today that one package for Francisco has arrived. It is
the one that has the album of his sponsors. Whenever the photos and other papers
arrive, I will post them to the group. I hope that they take lots of photos! God
bless.

Just a Reminder
Hi everyone,
Just a reminder, when you send in a payment, please let me know or record it into the correct database on the Yahoo group so that I can forward this on to Debbie, and she can credit your account. You can make the contribution at any time. So far he is paid up for 3 months. Thanks!

Inquiries
Dear Sponsors,
Debbie has asked that if you have a SNG request or inquiry about Francisco and
family, please have it come to me and I will forward this to her. She says that
this will help to cut down on expenses. We have requested to see whether or not
Francisco's mother could participate in an IGP (income generating progject) to
see if this might help to improve the living arrangements/conditions. Another SNG was sent off to see what Francisco's immediate needs might be. I will post when the
information arrives. God bless.

Fast Facts About Colombia Brochure
Francisco's sponsorship packet arrived today. It explained the reason why his last name is different from his sister's. Her father is unknown and she has the name of her mother and grandmother. Francisco has the name of his father. The Fast Facts About Colombia brochure has been posted on the Yahoo Group for anyone to read who does not have a child in Colombia. God bless

Update on Family Report
Yesterday I received an updated Family Record Report. It was updated on June 24 and the changes that I see are that instead of there being a concrete floor, the floor is described as dirt. The home description includes a bathroom, kitchen, and one bedroom, instead of bathroom, bedroom and multipurpose room. There are 4 wooden beds. It has not been posted to his account yet. I could not get it formatted so that you could see it better.

We will be checking again with CI to see if we can get a SNG for home repairs.
God bless.

First Group Letter to Francisco Letters and Gifts Sent Off!
After a slight ordeal at the post office, I was able to send the package off
with his group letter and birthday cards. I added a small map to the inside of
the photo album which shows the continents we are located on. I wrote in
Spanish:
"This is a map of the world. You live in Colombia which is on the continent of
South America. Your sponsors live were the stars are located."
Then I put a little arrow showing where he is located.
When you send off anything, you are welcome to post it into the album on the Yahoo Group or make your own album. Please update the database when you send anything off to Francisco and let me know so we can record the items in the Files Section to avoid duplications. Thanks again and God bless.
