This is the cute photo that accompanied Alphonsine's 2014 progress report. I love it because she is wearing the dress she purchased with gift money I sent at the end of 2013!
Having never received a progress report from World Vision before, I had no idea what to expect. It's meant to be a cute design, but it's a lot of information spread out over a huge piece of paper that is folded up. This blog post is really helping ME get all of the information together in a nice, organized list ;-)
Alphonsine will turn 5 on October 2 this year.
Alphonsine is in nursery school, and she goes to school at 8:00am by foot. School is about 1/2 km from her house. She is in school from 8:00am until 11:00am, and her best subject is English. Alphonsine wants to be a teacher when she grows up.
For lunch and dinner, Alphonsine eats sweet potatoes. Her favorite food is rice, and her community grows a lot of beans. On special days like Christmas, they eat rice and beans together.
Alphonsine likes to sing and play with friends at school. She helps at home by fetching water for her Grandmother.
I haven't received a letter from Alphonsine since June 12, so I am hoping one is on the way to me. I believe I can place an inquiry on October 12, which isn't that far away! This has been the longest stretch without a letter from Alphonsine during my entire sponsorship of her.
