This is my sponsor child. His name is Donato Canon Bellen. He will be 12 on May 18th. Donato lives in the Philipines with his mother and father and 4 brothers. Donato enjoys swimming and playing with friends, and is talented at singing and dancing. Donato lives in a two room bamboo hut with palm leaves for a roof and floor. The family sleeps on mats on the floor and do not own a single bed. The water is from a community well, and the sanitaion facility is simply and open field. Although electricity is available, it is not affordable. Donato's mother is a housekeeper and his father is a fisherman and they earn about $44 a month.

I am very happy to have received this child to help. I mean really, is $22 a month really that much when it is improving the life of a child? Anyhow... I can't wait to get a letter from him, and send him one from Kayden and I with some pictures and maybe a small treat.
