Meeting Javier.

As we boarded the van to meet Javier ( the 6 year old child we are sponsoring) i was crazy with emotions. I have never sponsored a child before and was really excited. We parked at a coffee plantation which i thought was a little odd but we looked to the right and saw that there was a door next to it. I realized that it was there house. we walked in the door and immediately was welcomed by the family. His mom is a single mother raising 4 children ( a 4 year old, a 6 year old, a 14 year old and a 17 year old). Javier was super shy at first but at the last fifteen minutes he finally warmed up to us. he showed us his school notebooks, we took a tour of the coffee trees they lived on and played with there gifts. His little brother Yoni had a cold and had little rosy cheeks. Sadly his older brother left and we didn't get to talk to him that much. He absolutly loved the gifts and we found out that he loved cars and spiderman. i am really excited to see him and keep in touch!
