We just received notice from World Vision that we have a new little boy now that we'll be sponsoring. His name is Aregahegn Chofora and he lives in Ethiopia with his parents and two brothers. He's 6 years old and enjoys playing hide and seek. We're excited to get in touch with him!

He is adorable. That's so nice of you guys.
In a report on famine in Ethiopia, reporter Andrew Geoghegan visited his 14 year old sponsor child. The girl has "been part of a World Vision program all her life" yet says (in translated subtitle) "Until recently, I didn't know I had a sponsor." and when asked about her knowledge of World Vision sponsorship says "Last time they gave me this jacket and a pen." Geoghegan was disconcerted to find that despite being "told by World Vision that [the girl] was learning English at school, and was improving... she speaks no English at all."[1]
