The younger three are tracking Santa on NORAD.org they've seen him go across Africa so they know he has delivered to Malle in Mali (one of our World vision sponsored children) and we aren't sure if he has been to Lima in Peru yet. We keep watching. We saw him go over Mount Fuji in Japan though!
Malle is Muslim, but we sent her a 'holidays' package anyway and we also sent three goats to her community as a gift to Lloyds team - and on behalf of the staff at school - instead of silly little gifts - so I made snowman soup for everyone and cards and then we gave goats. Three goats can be milked, bred, and used as meat. Whatever.....
We also sent a Christmas package to Margori in Peru who is Catholic. I know her Mom will send me a lovely letter and photograph of Margori when it arrives and I LOVE getting their letters and pictures - I treasure each one :)
Next year we plan to sponsor a third child somewhere else in the world - it is something we really enjoy - and we love doing it through World Vision. We are not religious and we like that World Vision do NOT push their religious beliefs on to the children they help. They also ask the sponsor families not to push their religious beliefs either - like Malle is Muslim so they ask us not to push Christian ideas on to her - I LOVE this idea!
