Claudia (235)

Christina here with one closing thought for the day,

We met Claudia today. She is thirteen years old. She is bright, beautiful, humble, gentle, quiet and when she smiles her eyes shine with promise. We spent time with her and the project, had lunch with her at Burger King (she wanted a hamburger) and took her shopping for some new tops at the mall where we had lunch. She loves cartoons and is like any other teenager in that she has goals and aspirations. She wants to be a teacher. Even though her current situation looks bleak to the outsider, the odds are in her favour now that Compassion has stepped in (thanks Cliff and Sherry and all you other sponsors out there) with some much needed and appreciated assistance. One final observation, Claudia’s walk to the project is like crossing the Circumferential at rush hour.
