<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">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. </span><br />

</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: black;">Pam and her husband had been looking for ways to make a

organization to support. "I </span><span style="color: #222222;">looked and looked
and certainly saw lots of opportunities to help. But really wanting to help
oversees, and really wanting to know that the money I gave was going straight
to those in need without a lot of overhead costs, I still hadn't found the
right opportunity after a few months," Pam says. She heard about Acenda
from a friend, and after doing a little research into Acenda's <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">foster care program in

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Acenda, a small
non-profit organization, was created, with the specific goal of helping place
orphans in Mozambique with caring Mozambican foster families. However, while many families are willing to
help, they cannot afford another child to feed, clothe, and pay the educational
fees of books and uniforms on their own.
Acenda provides the necessary support for these families to make it
possible for these orphans to continue to live in a loving home. Acenda is a volunteer organization with 100%
of its proceeds going directly to the children.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I
am thrilled to introduce Henriqueta Maluana. Henriqueta has been a dear friend
since the first time I met her in 2000 on my first trip to Mozambique. She has a natural ability with people and has
a gift to reach across cultures and
become an instant friend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I remember marveling at her ability and confidence. We were the same age, but no matter where we
went, everyone looked up to her and listened to her with respect. She comes from a very humble background but that has never stopped her from being so
full of happiness. The first time she
saw a sleeping bag, she jumped right in and zipped herself up laughing all the
while. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and a deep passion to help her country. Over
the years she has taught me many things, one of them being dedication and hard
work. Whether it is learning English, building her own
house from cinderblocks, teaching room after roomful the importance of
abstinence until marriage, taking classes to get her GED, or calling to check
up on our foster families, Henriqueta is dedicated and sees every job through
to the end. She is an essential part of
the Acenda team and we are grateful for all her hard work.</span><v:shape id="_x0000_s1026" o:allowoverlap="f" style="height: 109.5pt; margin-left: 5.25pt; margin-top: 2.95pt; position: absolute; width: 109.5pt; z-index: 251657728;" type="#_x0000_t75" wrapcoords="-148 0 -148 21452 21600 21452 21600 0 -148 0"><span style="font-family: inherit;">

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I am currently a full time mom. I
spend my days playing with my three kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our favorite thing to do is to pack lunches and spend the day at the
splash park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also love to go to the
library and read stories for kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
bring the books home and study the grammar with my friends from China and

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I
have been volunteering for Acenda since 2008.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Before I came to the U.S. I was in charge of visiting and supervising
the foster families. These visits would include training families on how to
deal or interact with children who were in the transition stage from orphanages
to a household.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would also train
foster families on how to manage donations received by Acenda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

moment to me when I did visits to foster families, was to see the joy and hope
that radiated from the children because they knew that now had a future ahead
of them as long as they continued doing what was right. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being an orphan or homeless in Mozambique is
comparable to an abandoned animal that does not have a roof to hide his head. Homeless
children would eat rotten food from trash cans and would take shower on the
sewage canals if there is one in the community. The only end or hope for those
children was death because they assumed that it would take the pain away from
them.</span></span><br />

Maria (second from the right wearing a green shirt) is a wonderful foster
mother. She is very energetic and happy. She has a supportive
husband and they are the parents of seven children including Mussa. When
she is not busy taking care of her large family, she is serving the children at
her local church as the Primary President!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Mussa was very challenging when he joined the family over two years
ago. It was not uncommon for him to run away from home but Ana Maria was
patient and helped him understand the blessing of having a family and the
responsibility that comes with being part of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Acenda</i> Program. </span></div>
