I decided to meet my sponsored(被资助的) child, 12-year-old Natacha Etienne. She survived(幸存) the earthquake in Haiti. After a two-hour drive, I found myself in a beautiful place w Natacha's family live.
When I first saw Natacha, waiting in her best clothes, I felt like giving her a hug , but I d . She had never seen me b. With half of the villagers gathering to look at me, Natacha stood back, silent and shy.
When I pulled out photos, hand-written messages and drawings I'd received from Natacha, her shyness was gone and she began to talk to me. Her parents greeted me with w hugs and nervous smiles.

a mother for Natacha," they said. "You pay for her education and we are really thankful to you."
I took part in the sponsor activity, hoping it could help children like Natacha have a c to go to school. I believe my little contribution (捐助) will c their lives. Now I realize that writing letters and sending photos are of great importance to Natacha, because they are all small g sent with great love.
