In January Heather and Stuart and son Nathan visited their sponsored child, Sunita, in Kathmandu, Nepal. They have sponsored Sunita for about three years and made a special trip to Kathmandu to visit her. Sunita is 13 years old and in class 6. She has a large family living in two very small rooms and they have little income so life is a constant struggle. There are nine in the family including her married brother and his wife. I have been involved with this family since 2004 and there are three children left in school, Sunita being one of them. This was a really big thrill for Sunita to be visited by her sponsors and she also spent a day sight seeing with them. She never has the luxury of being taken out for the day so this is something she will not forget. Her sponsors have made a big difference in her life as they pay for her to attend a private school. Sunita started school late as her parents could not afford for her to attend school so she was 7 when she started. Then unfortunately she lost her sponsors and we re-sponsored her with Stuart and Heather who have been so caring towards her. It is a very good match and they have made her feel special. Many thanks to them.
