I've had a sad start to the day i must admit. I have a sponser child in India- a beautiful young girl who's already had a hard life and yet you wouldn't be able to tell from the her personality sparkled.
However, i found out today she died a cpl weeks back from typhoid fever. The Christian group i sponser her through tried everything and took great care of her and have also taken this death hard. They're now looking for another child in need of my support.
Let me just say, if you possibly can, sponser a child... find a company you can trust with minimal admin costs and go for it. it is so rewarding and incidents like this remind you of the hardships those without support must face :'(
