I decided to visit my sponsored1 child, 12-year-old Natacha Etienne. She survived the earthquake in Haiti. After a two-hour drive, I found myself in a beautiful place where Natacha’s family live. When I first saw Natacha, waiting in her best clothes, I felt like giving her a hug, but I didn’t. She had never seen me before. With half of the villagers gathering to look at me, Natacha stood back, silent and shy. When I pulled out photos, hand- written letters and drawings I’d received from Natacha, her shyness disappeared and she began to talk to me. Her parents greeted me with warm hugs and nervous smiles. In their simple house, I gave her coloured pencils, but when we found paper, there was no hard surface to put it on. Her parents thanked me repeatedly for coming. Her father opened some coconuts2, and we drank and talked. I learnt that their only plan was to get all their eight children educated, so they could get the chance to leave Haiti. "You are like another mother for Natacha," they said. "You pay for her education and we are really thankful to you." I take part in the sponsor activity, hoping it could help children like Natacha have a chance to go to school. I will stay in touch with them, and I believe my little contribution will change their lives. Now I realise that writing letters and sending photos are of great importance to Natacha, because they are all small gifts sent with great love.
