Dear Aunties Elizabeth, Stephanie, Cayce and Lauren –
Today Christine visited us at the “Back to School” program and brought us your very special gifts. Boy did Christmas come early this year!
BTS is a program for young children who live in the slums and don’t currently go to school. Many of our parents are uneducated and don’t realize how important it is to send us to school. In other cases, our parents just can’t afford the ~$3 monthly cost to send us.
Although we are far behind where we should be in terms of our educational level, the BTS program teaches us how important it is to get an education, and now we are very willing to learn!
BTS gives us special tutoring everyday until we know enough of the basics and we are prepared to move into regular schools. Since we are currently practicing the English alphabet and numbers, the books you sent will be perfect to help us learn! And the puzzles, crayons and markers make our days a lot more fun.
Thanks for thinking of us. We love you!
Love, the girls and boys in the Back-To-School program
