Christelle

OK... so here's the first of our "orphans needing sponsors" updates. We are planning to put up photos of some of the girls who are yet to be sponsored in hopes that those of you visiting this site will see them and decide to step up and partner with our organization and sponsor one (or more) of them.  And of course who better to start with than the sweetie who shares my name:  Christelle!  Christelle is 10 years old and according to her interview ended up at Son of God Orphanage in Carrefour in a typical way- her grandmother dropped her off and never came back. She thinks she has 2 sisters and a brother living with her mother but is not sure of that.  She loves the color white, rice with ground meat and chickens are her favorite animals.  Christelle goes to school and is in first grade which she LOVES- especially when getting good grades. In her free time she likes to play with dolls or her best friend Ketia Belony.  When she grows up she would love to drive a car and she would love to have more toys to play with.
    If you visit Life is Wealth you may not even notice Christelle.  She is often lurking in the periphery- watching what is happening with a huge smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye.  She isn't one to fight to be first for vitamins or attention- in fact we usually have to track her down to get her to participate in things.  She is very shy but you can just see that desire to "fit in" and be part of the activities when they are going on.  She and I (since we share a name perhaps) have bonded and when I am sitting alone or with very few orphans around me it is not long until I feel a little body pressed up against me from behind or little hands playing with my hair and I know she is near.  She longs to feel loved, needed, wanted and would LOVE to know that she has someone out there praying for her, thinking about her, loving her when they are apart.  I guarantee she will do the same for you.  Christelle is loved by all the other girls- she is a peacekeeper for sure.
    Won't you consider sponsoring this beautiful little girl?  If not her, there are 60 others still available that our coordinators can match you with.  Your monthly donation of $32 will help feed, clothe, educate, provide clean water and personal items for your sponsored child.  You can also correspond and encourage one another.  James 1:27 is the perfect verse for this aspect of our ministry.  God will use your prayers and provision in the lives of these orphans for His glory.  Your part is to be obedient to His call.  :)
