As of tomorrow, I have officially been
living in the DR for 5 months, and hands down, one of my coolest experiences here
has been having a god-brother. So, as you know, the fam visited here in
February and mom and dad spent a good five days here at the orphanage before we
hit the beach up north. Soooo….being as I work in sponsorship, I may or may not
have pressured them into sponsoring a kid (actually it was quite easy) and
guess who they picked…Wilson!
Wilson is 15 years old, and one of the
awesome-est kids on site. He’s super passionate about learning English and
about helping the special needs kids. We have a special needs house with 9
special needs kids, and he spends casimente
all of his free time there and is always making sure they’re included in the
activities that happen on site. He’s also got a younger sister named, Milis!
Basically, he’s a great guy and he’s always asking about my family and friends.
He’s easy to talk to and I actually do feel like he’s my brother as funny as
that sounds. Let’s see…what else? He wants to be a comedian when he grows up
and he’s determined to go to university, which I’m sure he will since he’s such
a hard worker. Oh, and one more thing, he has a John Deere hat that he likes to
sport on occasion. I knew the first time I saw that hat that we would get
along!
Anywho, if you’re ever so inclined to send
a letter or anything this direction, it would be awesome if you sent something
for Wilson too. All of our kids love love LOVE hearing from their sponsors
(which we call godparents/padrinos)
and I want him to be included in the fam as much as possible. And his birthday
is October 6th! So there you have it, you now know my one and only
god-brother, Wilson!
