Save the Children

[lisamoe]

Today I sent a letter by email to the little boy that I sponsor at Save the Children.  It's the first letter I've sent and I wasn't sure what to say.  We're still going to send a regular letter with some pictures and little things (they said you could send stickers or small gifts if you wanted to) but he has already sent us something (a tracing of his hand, very cute!) and I wanted to at least let him know we had gotten it.  Apparently either way, email or snail mail, the field staff in that office (Mali, in this case) will translate your letter and send it along to the child, but it will get there a lot faster by email.   I think I'm going to have Jesse write the snail mail letters.  I feel sort of odd corresponding with a 7 year old and I think this kid would probably rather hear from the boys than some middle aged woman, don't you?
