This letter came to Morgan Bucher from her sponsored child Simphiwe Dlamini. It reads:
Hello Morgan!
Thank you very good friend for the letter and stickers you sent to me. I have benefited a chicken from World Vision but unfortunately for me my chicken died. My favorite colour is pink, also I do go to church. I go to the same church with my sponsorship promoter.
[Note: These are the "feet on the street" employees of World Vision who walk miles and miles across Mhlosheni's red dirt roads to deliver and pick up letters, check in on the children, and convey our wishes and prayers. MT]
I attend Sunday school classes. This week my Sunday school teachertaught us about respect. He also told us that Jesus is our friend. I have told you that my chicken died. I no longer have a pet.
Thank you friend.

And then Simpiwe wrote, in another letter:
Hello Morgan!
My friend, it's been a long time not hearing from you. How are you? I always pray for you.
You know what, I benefited shoes through World Vision from your help. I was desperately in need of shoes then my friend help me. You are a true friend.
These words and images are the glue that binds us, heart and soul, to our family in Mhlosheni. Thank you, Morgan, for sharing them with us!
