Kulsum's profile & pic updated 2013

Its that time of the year again... Kulsum's profile pic was updated. I believe it was taken during her b'day SNG. But here it is - 

Also her profile was updated. I know this is a little late. But her favorite subject (language) and favourite pass time (playing with dolls) haven't changed in two years :). She has grown to 4' 11" which is a good thing. 
But not everything is good. Her family income has come down from 132$ to 80$. I believe it is mainly due to the fact that her mom is not working anymore. Also she is still using community latrine. I still can't forget when I visited her. She has one room and a very small area for a kitchen where the kids bathe too. Its a pretty hard life. I am thinking about SNG for her too.. But one at a time. Let me finish with Yulissa and Nicolle. And then to Kulsum.

Kulsum's Birthday SNG 2013

It was Kulsum's 15th birthday this March and I had sent her a SNG. I sure hope she had a good time. I finally go the report in April. So here goes :)
So here are some sweet photos and the beautiful letter she wrote - 

"Dear Sponsor,
My family and I are well and hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. With your extra donation we have bought large supplies of groceries, toiletries and health drink for our regular consumption. We have also bought pretty dolls for myself and my sister. Thank you for my b'day cake, it was lovely . Thank you so much for your love and care. Presently I am in grade 8 and I want to become a teacher when I grow up. Now, here the weather is warm and sunny. My family and I send you our love and best wishes.
Yours loving 
Kulsum Parveen"

She also drew a bright red kite in the back... Also her profile picture was updated :)... So a lot of good things. I hope I get to see her when I go to India again sometime next year.
