Update from Enego, our sponsored child in the Philippines:
First of all, let me say ‘how are you?’ We are fine and I am thankful for your kindness to my son Enego. If not for your help Enego could not pursue his studies. I am happy to tell you he has developed a lot. He is able to read and write and follow simple instructions. I am not losing hope that someday my son will land a job because of your help. My profound thank you for the support you are giving my son.
(Enego has autism which means he is not able to write directly to us.)
Our next service at the Brentwood Care Centre is on Thursday July 23 at 2:30pm.
