We'd like to share about seven-year-old JF, who joined one of our foster families last year in August.
When JF transferred from an outlying area to our partner orphanage in a bigger city, they asked if she might be able to join our family model of care.
We had been told that she was diagnosed with a heart defect, but it seems that had resolved by itself. We were unable to obtain any previous medical records and she is perfectly healthy now.
Over the past year she has adjusted well to her foster home. JF is a very athletic girl who loves to be on the move!
She is also an incredibly joyful child who is always smiling. Just being around her is enough to lift your spirits! She is a very quick learner and is doing well in school. Her foster mom has also noticed that she is very thoughtful and careful, paying great attention to detail in whatever she does.
Her teachers have certainly noticed these traits as well, because she was chosen to be class monitor for her first-grade class, and recently came home with an award for her merits at school. This made her foster mom so very proud!
We are grateful to all who support our work. You are helping us to make a difference for children like JF, to know the love of a family and to learn values that will benefit her for the rest of her life.
