Yulissa replies March 2014

Another beautiful day and another beautiful letter from my sweet Yulissa. As always, she replied to all my questions which is the most wonderful part of the letters to me. So here is her sweet letter.

"Dear sponsor Mani,

I am very happy to be greeting you, I am fine and let me tell you a story about the picture (I had sent her a pic which I thought was super cute), I was 5 years old and I cut my bangs because I wanted to be a hair stylist. My parents and siblings are fine. My dad is getting better slowly. I hope I can get to middle school and keep studying so I can be a professional. Would you tell me about your culture? I would like you to send me more pictures of you. I say goodbye wanting to write another letter already (Isn't she the sweetest? :)).

Thank you for being in my life.

Yulissa"

I have always felt that she writes the best letters. She always knows what to say and she has this very nice way of seeing and putting things. I love that the best about her. She seems to be like one of those genuine kids who is really lovely from the heart. I have plans to see her next month and I can't wait for it.

~Cheers

Nicolle replies Feb 2014

Out of the three letters that I got, 2 were from Kulsum and one from my sweet Nicolle. As always she writes sweet letters and also answers all my questions. So here is the latest letter from her.
"Hello Dear sponsor,
I hope that when you get this letter, you be in good health along with you dear ones. I want to thank you for the letter you sent me. I want you to know that I am doing very good in my studies. I will be in sixth grade. And my next vacations period will be until April 2014. I spent a very good birthday along with my family and some friends. My mother is doing very good just like me and my siblings, we are in very good health thanks to God. I send you lots of greetings for you and your family. 
I say goodbye.
Nicolle"
As always another sweet letter with her trademark dark coloring. Her drawings and colors have really interested me a lot. Here is her latest from the letter.

Double joy from Kulsum!

And so I am back after a long vacation, and to my surprise there were three letters from CI. I always love the letters in bulk. Especially when they are from the same kid. I got two letters from Kulsum within a space of a month. Not sure how. But I am not complaining :)
So here are the two letters.
First one - 
"Dear Mr Sukumar,
Hello! My family and I are fine here. I hope you are also well. I thank you for fulfilling all my needs and my studies are going well. I hope to pass and get promoted from grade 8th to 9th. Our annual exams are now going on and I am doing preparation well for it. I hope to pass with your blessings. I went to my aunt's house in the winter season. I like winter season. I hope to pass to grade 9 with good marks. I hope to hear from you.
Your loving child
Kulsum"
I can clearly see from the above letter how scared she was about her exams. I did see her on my vacation and I can guarantee that she is really interested in studying. She really wants to do well. And that's good. Also got a good news in the very next letter that she did clear (Of course I knew that when I went to meet her :)). So here is the second letter too.
"Dear Mani dada
Hello! My family and I are fine here and I hope you are also well. I have passed my exams and have now been promoted from grade 8 to grade 9. I am able to study so far with your kind support. It is now winter season here and it is very cold in the morning. I went to the park for outings on new year's day. I like to go to my aunt's house in the winter also. I send you my love and wish you a happy new year. I hope to hear from you.
Your loving child
Kulsum"
I was very happy to see the letters. I am always happy to get letters from CI and it was double the joy to get two letters in quick succession. I will soon be updating about my visit too.
~Cheers
