Let's begin with a letter from Tern, who is from Thailand. His letter is written on the About Me template. The letter is dated September 30th, 2017. Tern is 5 years old.

1. I am the only child in my family.

Hello,
I am Ms. Sabaiporn, a project staff member. I am writing to you on behalf of Tern. Tern would like to thank you for your letter. I'm now at his house. He most likes to wear an army outfit. He ate rice and grilled chicken today. His house is a two story house, in which the first floor is made of cement and the second floor is wood. In his spare time, he likes to go to the rice field and pretend to go fishing with his friend Tonkla. The project he's been attending is a church in which the second floor is used as a worship place and the bottom floor is used as classrooms for the children. Tern says he's never seen a solar eclipse before, but there have been eclipses in Thailand. The last party Tern went to was his distant cousin Bonus' birthday party. His grandmother would like to ask you to please pray for him as he often plays out in the rain. It's been raining here every day. Tern would like to ask what you do for a living. He also thanks you for supporting him.
