More Information About My Newest Kiddos

I briefly shared about my new kiddos a couple of weeks ago, but now that I received my packets for them from Compassion, I want to share a little more about their families and lives. This is probably for my own record, than for anybody's else's, but maybe you'll still find it interesting.

I will also be sharing some of the things that are offered at the projects these children attend. All Compassion projects provide healthy food, health screening, tutoring, games, bible lessons, health and hygiene training, etc, that basics. I will share some of the interesting things these projects offer. The things that are outside the ordinary.
