We brought our girls to visit our sponsored children from Batam yesterday. When our church announced that there are children who needs just a sponsorship of $90 a year to go to school, Ed and I decided that our daughters who are so blessed with many things on life, work or save to donate $180 to sponsor these 2 girls. Megan made friendship bands and sold them to raise money amidst her preparation for PSLE. Macy saved her weekly allowance to raise $90.

It was a humbling experience for ourselves and our girls. As both the girls live in different villages, we split up into 2 groups to visit tem. Megan went with me to visit Love and Ed and Macy visited Krisitina.

Love is 9 years old, living together with her mum and her 14 yr old sister. Both parents are separated and the father took 2 of the siblings and her mum has her and her elder sister. Her mum,33, is a scavenger. She collects bottles, papers, cardboard and sell it for recycling. For every 1kg she sells, she earns SGD$0.07. :( their house was a simply built zinc roof and brick walls. I noticed that the entirely family was walking about barefooted. When they served us water, the cups were chipped and black.
We bought a present for Love and urged her to open it. I wish that when our children receive presents, they also has the same look on their face like Love. We gave her a pencil box, a bookmark and 2 cute erasers. You should have seen her face when she saw the erasers. Nothing can buy that kind of moment. I almost broke down. Megan also gave her a friendship band and through a translator explained to her how she made them to sell to get money to fund her through school.

Love cannot speak English very well but she sang a song for me. " I love you Jesus deep down in my heart". I can see deter nation in her eyes and spirit and when we ask her what she wants to be when she grows up, she wants to be a teacher.

At the end of the visit, Megan and I prayed over her and her family. Megan is greatly disturbed by the unfairness of life. But we explain to her that in the face of crisis or disaster, God wants us to respond with compassion to heal pain and alleviate suffering. The situation doesn’t have to be our responsibility or the problem our fault. God wants us to share joyfully because the need is great and we have the means to help.

Here's us with Love

Macy also felt blessed with her life and was happy to meet kristina, our other sponsored child.

Almost same age but so different their lives... How blessed our children are.
