A special photo

Today we received a wonderful piece of mail. We had a letter from Mwajuma, the girl from Tanzania that we sponsor throught Compassion. Included in the letter was an updated photo. I was so happy to get the photo. The only picture we had of her came in our sponsorship packet.

She just seemed so sad and forlorn in this photo. However it sat, framed, in our living room to remind us daily to pray for her and her family. Here is the updated photo we received today.

She is wearing the clothes that she bought with the money we sent for her birthday back in October. I was also happy that her mother and brother were in the photo. She wrote us about buying new clothes and also rice and sugar with her money. I take hundreds of photos, but this one snapshot means the world to me. It has been such a blessing to write Mwajuma and be a part of her life. If you have ever considered how you could help children around the world, please visit the Compassion website today. It costs so little. We don't miss the dollar a day. It would mean the world to a child!
