I'd love to know a lot more about this tender child than I do. She has never shared a single intimate detail of her life with me. Quiet. Wordless. Guarded heart. Even her hugs for me are quick and loose, letting go before she truly latches on. But she is pretty. "Pretty".
Details come to me from leadership. This is all I may ever know. Pretty was abandoned in the city of Harare. A relative left her in a busy district and claimed that she was going to guy buy some food and other essentials and would return soon. She never returned. A good samaritan found her and took her to the police station to seek safety. The police took her to the hospital for a medical checkup and soon she was accepted at the orphanage in Zim. She hasn't been there much more than a year, I believe.
Pretty was born on July 15, 2000 - so she is 11, very soon to be 12 years old. Her favorite bible verse is John 3:16 (yes, Lord). Her favorite subject in school is English.
Pretty needs a sponsor for school fees and also for essentials. We will officially launch our sponsorship program in the fall but please don't hesitate to contact me here if you would like to go ahead and sign up for Pretty.
God bless!
Wow, Melissa, those eyes get me. I better stop reading your child of the day posts or I'm going to get myself in trouble and sponsor the whole orphanage (although, I wish I could :)
ReplyDeleteBecca - you are so precious! I know you'd sponsor every single one if you could and I love you for that. But if I could, you'd have to fight me for them! Ha! I love your heart and we will find the right "one" for you!
