Kids Connection Letters

One of the great joys here is giving out letters written by Kids Connection sponsors. We had a shipment of letters arrive recently so we were able to deliver a lot of letters to Savva, Ulan and Saramoldaeva orphanages. These two pictures were taken at the Saramoldaeva orphanage. Most of the older boys had letters an opened them eagerly. One boy Tolik and one girl Sabina are new to Saramoldaeva so have yet to get a sponsor.

In the second picture, Katiya received with her letter some small gifts and this harmonica. Of course none of these children have ever seen a harmonica before so Kiikzhan instructed her how to play it. She did so and was a bit surprised as to how it makes your lips feel when the notes play. Fortunately it came with a pictorial instruction sheet that she can learn from.

For those of you who have children to write to over here know that letters and pictures are cherished. Some also come with small gifts, stickers and things that can fit in a small envelop. Some Americans send a computer generated letter with a number of photos of family members, animals or when they go on vacation. The children are fascinated by the lives of their American friends.

Thanks for taking time to brighten the lives of Kazakhstan’s orphan children.
