We got our first letter from the child we sponsor in Thailand! It was very sweet and included a little drawing (above). It's very good! I told him I liked it and it was suay ngam (beautiful)! It's very cool how Compassion sets it up. They give the kids these letters to fill in. There is a space for a drawing, a letter, the translation under it, and then the back of the page it lists some fun facts. So we know his favorite color, food, flower and things like that.
So cute! They also include a sheet for us to write him back and a space for translation, too. I wrote to him and sent pics of us and our animals for him to see. Want to go look for some kind of little baseball card or stickers or something to send too. We are allowed to send anything that is flat and will fit in a regular envelope. Wondering if maybe we can take a gift for him to Thailand and ship to where he lives. Won't be able to go to the area he lives on this trip, but hopefully in the future!
PS - we already broke into Ruby's snack stash (bad mommy and daddy!) Hey, we had to make sure Ruby would like them, right? (yea, that is the story I am sticking with). I must say those little organic cheesy duck things are every bit as tasty as the goldfish crackers! But way healthier! Better go stock up! LOL!

So sweet! That would be great, if you could send a care package when you're in Thailand!!!
Love that you broke into the stash. You were just being "quality control."
How fun! We sponsored a child for 9 years with Compassion! He lived in Kenya. Tragically, his mom died in childbirth and his dad felt they needed to move closer to relatives. So they were then beyond Compassion's territory. But what a great experience it was! And how fun to have one to sponsor from Thailand! Bless you for your generosity.
