sponsored children

We have recently started sponsoring 2 children through World Vision. We have lots of reasons for doing this, which I am sure are self-evident, but we were also keen to sponsor children who were close to Tess & Brodie in age, to allow them to each write to, and hopefully form a connection with, the children, and to learn about lives in other countries and in different circumstances. We hope that one day we might be able to visit the children in their villages.

Our children (who both have birthdays coming up in May) are ......

Theodor, aged 3, from Senegal ...


and Silveria, nearly 6, from Bolivia ......


We have already received a letter from Theodor, which we were very excited about ....


We have written letters, drawn pictures and put together some photos to send to both children, as well as some crayons and drawing books ....

We included a sheet of photos .....


Our letter to Theodor ....



Brodie drew a train ......


Our letter to Silveria ....



Tess drew a picture of the christmas tree with an angel on top (taking inspiration from the picture of her on the photo sheet) .....


and a rainbow ....
