Francisco received a cute Easter package from sponsor Barbara. His siblings also received gifts. His mom writes:

"Dear Sponsor:

How are you doing. This is Francisco's mother (spelt Fransicis!). Thank you very much for everything you sent him. He is very happy for the toys, crayons, the stuffed bunny (it was a duck!) and clothes. We loved the card and photos a lot. Thanks also for the coloring book.

May God bless you. Francisco's (this time spelt Franscisco's) mother."

Actual contents were a T-shirt for Briany, the duck for Valentina, the chicken-head flower for Evelyn, the Easter egg telescope for Samy, and colouring book for Francisco.

Many of you supported and contributed to a recent fundraiser to build a new sturdy room for Francisco, Evelyn, and their family, who live in Cartagena, Colombia. These contributions were added to the repairs that their grandmother initiated. Here are recent photos of what has been done so far. They still plan to renovate the bathroom, install windows and a door, provide a bunk bed and a single bed with matresses. The current home improvements included connections of electical installation, construction of a cement floor, cement plaster to the bathroom walls.

We want to give all you who contributed to this fundraiser a big thank you and hugs. We could not have done it without all of your help. God bless you.

The living area before  ne room construction began is below.
