| Name: Fatim Diakite Age: 9 Message to my sponsor: Thank you soooo much for paying for me to go to school. I feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world, because I get to go to school, when all of the other kids have to stay home because they don't have money. |
| Name: Awa Martine Lompoulou Age: 5 Message to my sponsor: I am very happy at my new school. I feel so special, because a lot of kids in Africa can't go to school like I do. I feel bad for some of my friends who want to go to school, so maybe you can help them too. |
| Name: Ibrahim Sanou Age: 5 Message to my sponsor: I changed my mind since I last wrote to you. I don't want to own my own taxi service anymore. I want to be the President of the Ivory Coast so I can make peoples lives better and make sure every kid goes to school. |
