Griselda lives in a place called Villa Nueva which is home to about 200,000 people. The house structure is much different than a typical American home. Instead of tile or carpet floors usually the floors are made of packed dirt. The walls are made of wood and the roof is corrugated iron. Griselda’s family is faced daily with illness such as malnutrition, tooth decay, parasites, and respiratory illness’. Every day Griselda’s father, if employed, works as a laborer and earns about $150 per month. Griselda’s everyday chores include gathering firewood, a kitchen helper, running errands, and cleaning. During her free time she loves to draw, play basketball, play with dolls, play house, and singing. Surprisingly her activities are much like those of American girls her age. By sponsoring my child I have given her a multiple of gifts. A couple is Bible teaching, medical check-ups, first aid, recreational activities, tutors, crafts, books and clothing. The hardest months for Griselda and her family are March and April. Please pray for Griselda and her family.
