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.

Here is the letter for Barbara written by one of the members of the CI staff, on behalf of Francisco :)

DP Report from Barbara's Package

Francisco received lots of goodies from Barbara for Christmas. These gifts are from a Christmas package. It looks like he likes everything. He is also growing tall! I love his hair in these photos :)

Pancho's Gifts from Barbara Finally Arrive!

Hi, we have good news that one of Barbara's DP's arrived in Cartagena for Francisco. Other packages from Barbara have not yet made it but hopefully they will make it too. Francisco received lots of goodies and Evelyn and Samy received goodies as well. Here is the letter from the neighbor who sometimes writes for Francisco, and here is the DP Report. I can't believe how tall Francisco is now!


"Dear Mrs. Barbara.

Thank you for the gift you sent to Francisco, let me tell you that he is very grateful for having received the pictures (photos) the letter, the books, the clothes, the puppet, the toys and a little bag. May God bless you and your family for all the things you have done for us.

Francisco and his family are in good health, and he is doing well in school. With no more to say, I have to say goodbye.

Nira Guzman,

Francisco's neighbour"
