February's update from Mozambique

Happy Valentine's month to our wonderful family and friends who have supported Acenda!  February naturally makes one reflect on all the people that they appreciate and love.  I am confident that after learning a little bit about two siblings currently in Acenda's foster care program, your heart will expand with even a little more love.  

After the orphanage closed in 2009 where they were living, Barbara and Riquito Domingos were matched with the Minezes foster family nearly seven years ago.

Since that time, they have been able to stay with the Minezes because of generous donors like you who have made sacrifices.  From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for these donations!

Barbara is currently 15 years old.  She is in the 9th grade and is known by her family as a very dedicated student.  Her foster mom says that they all love her very much and she is very involved with her family.

Riquito is currently 17 years old and is in 10th grade.  After secondary school he hopes to continue his education at Young Africa, a vocational training center located in his home town of Beira, Mozambique where he wants to study electricity.

They have such a bright future!  For $50 a month, foster families like the Minezes will be able to continue to support an orphan.  We hope that you will sincerely think about if you are able to help at this time.  We love these children, we love their foster families, and we hope you all know how much we love our donor families too!
