Hi everyone, I have updated the database for Francisco's payments for 2010 and
this part of 2011. Right now, he is paid up through Dec. 2011. If you would like
to make a donation, please don't forget to record it in the database or let me
know and I can add it. Thanks so much for all that you do!

Some Updates
Just wanted to share some updates/tidbits/info on the group. Don't forget that
you are more than welcome to post questions, comments, feedback on the group, or
the blog, or just send me an email.
*In a recent letter to a sponsor, Francisco has indicated that his goal is to
attend a University in the future :)
*I put in a request to have his eyes checked because one seems to be smaller
than the other one and he did not pass his grade last year. I was wondering if
this might be related.
*There are some questions as to how many children are actually Francisco's
brothers and sisters but Debbie said that she will try to see if the staff can
get some clarification.
*Steve will be visiting the family in Dec.
*Debbie is also going to check to see if there is an organization affiliated
with the office in Cartagena that might be able to provide some support for his
mother who has so many small children.
*The fundraiser for the building of a sturdy room is going strong with $800
having been raised do far. If you would like to contribute to this fundraiser,
please visit the fundraising page link posted below We need as much help as possible:
http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/sharon-clyburn/a-room-of-their-own
*The second stage of the fundraiser will be posted on Aura's House in the near
future.
*Please pray for Ellen who is in area that has been stricken with earthquakes
and please pray for Liz who is in an area that has had bombing.
Thank you and God bless.

Francisco's Birthday
Hi everyone,
Francisco has a birthday coming up on Oct. 27 and I wanted to remind everyone
that if you would like to contribute to his fundraiser as a birthday gift,
instead of sending gifts, this would be a great way to contribute to a project
that will have a long term effect in his life as his family will greatly benefit
from having a sturdy room to sleep in. His fundraising page on First Giving is:
http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/sharon-clyburn/a-room-of-their-own
We are trying to have the room constructed in three stages. The second stage
will be posted on Aura's House soon. Thank you and God bless.

I had a wonderful time visiting Francisco and his family on June 29! Details of the visit can be found on my trip blog:
http://visitingsponsoredchildren.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Francisco is very sweet and very small for his age, and he loves sharing with others. Francisco was very happy with all of the gifts that sponsors' send and he was very happy with the collage and individual letters. I made a request to see if Francisco is receiving anything for his anemia and also to check to see if he might need glasses. We are also continuing to raise funds to see if we can get an additional room added to the family dwelling. I will post photos of Francisco's home and some other photos of the visit to this blog.
