Dear Sokhin,
My name is Rachel and I am 21 years old. I am from the United States and grew up with my Mother, Father and younger brother. My brother is 15 years old and plays soccer at the local High School. We have two dogs, named Maggie and Hershey and I love animals! I am curious to hear more about your family.

I go to school in Seattle, Washington and am studying History. I live with my two friends, Stacey and Kinsey. Summer is almost over and I’m excited for school to start again. I only have 3 years left and then I want to go home and be a history teacher. What did you do this summer? When does your school start? What are your favorite subjects?

I hope all is well and that I hear from you soon!

With Love,
Rachel


Dear Nilson,

Thank you so much for the letter you sent me! I was excited to get your letter and hear about your life. Our family is very excited to be sponsoring you. You were born on the same day as my daughter, Grace. I also have a son, Tim, who is 6 years old, and another daughter, Sarah, who is 2 years old. I am a first grade teacher, and my husband works on airplanes. Can you tell us a little bit about your family?

Tim likes to play soccer and baseball, and Grace plays soccer and softball. This summer they both took swimming lessons, and are now pretty good. What type of sports do you play?

Our family is very involved with our church. We go to church every Sunday, and we have several friends from our church who sponsor other children in your community.

We will send you some pictures of our family soon, but wanted to get a letter off to you as soon as we could.

Sincerely,
The Nichols Family, Mary, Tom, Grace, Tim and Sarah


Dear Nyasha,

I was delighted to get your recent letter, and I am very happy to hear your family is well! You’re looking so grown up in your photograph, too! Thank you for taking time to draw that lovely picture for me; you’re a very good artist!

How is school going? Do you like your teachers? Do you still go to art class twice a week? Math is one of my favorite subjects too! I also really like to play games with my family. My son is your age and my daughter is 10 years old. They both love to read and hang out with their friends.

Say hello to your grandmother for me and have a wonderful time at your party!

Yours truly,
Christine
