Letter Writing Experts

Hastone Mwiinga #106 above is the 1st born of 4 children. He wants to be a policeman when he grows up. He says he likes to play football with Webstar, and he is intelligent in class. He is hoping for a sponsor that can buy his school uniform (he does not have one), a bag, shoes and other "things you can feel".

Trywell Hamweemba #529 above writes that he lives with his grandfather. Because he does not have parents, there are not sufficient clothes for him and his 2 brothers and 3 sisters. He says that his grandfather does not know how to help him because he does not have parents to provide for them.
There is one new child that was recently featured in a video. I do not yet have his sponsorship photo, but you can see him on his video here:
http://childhopezambia.blogspot.com/2010/10/muntanga-family.html His name is Muntanga Munachoongo #1111. He wrote that he lives with his mom. His dad has passed away. There are 9 people in his family. He likes English, SDS, and Tonga.
These children above are children who have written letters to their potential sponsors. Their letters stood out to me because they took extra care to write a lot and color a picture. All of these children are looking for a sponsor that loves to write letters.

  1. Thanks for posting this! I really hope that they all find sponsors soon who will write back to them as eagerly as they have written their letters already.

    As for Esnart's letter and the word "mistress" she used to describe what she wants to be, she might be referring to a schoolmistress or headmistress, so maybe she wants to be a teacher. Just a guess. :)

  2. Jordan wrote in his letter that his mother is lame, because she is pysically challenged. Maybe George also means something like that when he says that his mother is "a leam".
