Compassion International

I was sitting at work, reading a blog TheNester.com when I heard about Compassion International. This story, Decorating Truths From a 10 Year Old Boy, story brought me to tears. It was so beautiful that before I knew it, I was on their website looking for a child to sponsor. I've always been drawn to books on Africa, so I decided I needed to find a child from Rwanda. That's when I found my girl Niyogushiwa. She was waiting over 180 days for a sponsor, so I knew she was perfect for me. Isn't she the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?!
<3 I love her so much! <3
At my grandmother's 95th birthday, my mom thought it would be fun if we took a picture with all the ladies and a hello sign for Niyogushimwa.
Here I am holding my first letter from Niuogushimwa and her family!
