His mum wrote it (he is only 5). I burst into tears when I read it.

I only sponsored this boy on a whim - I could so easily have walked past the World Vision stand at the mall, but I was in a good mood and just DIT IT.

I picked a boy who was born a day before my eldest son, thinking they could write to each other, I picked a country we may visit one day. It is costing me roughly half an hour's work per month to pay for this sponsorship and I thought once my 3 sons earn some pocket money I will ask them to contribute.

I hadn't even written to him yet, no time - time poor. And his mother writes to thank me and I burst into tears.

awww man, dats sweet!!

It's a very good thing you're doing.
