In the name of God, compassionate & merciful بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ | Peace be with you السلام عليكم
I sponsored Vina Horacio Palanhe through Action Aid in December 2009 and have written postcards to her many times.
Vina, our 5yr old sponsored orphan from Mozambique, wrote back to us for the second time during Ramadan in August 2010, masha'Allah
The atrocious mailing system in Africa means only postcards are allowed for security reasons, and they arrive weeks late. Vina is allowed to write to us a couple of times a year but aged only 5, she cannot read or write by herself yet.
Vina is one of six children. She lives in a house made of mud walls and a thatched roof, and there is a protected water source nearby. Like many people in the area Vina and her family are Christian, and their local language is Changane.

Our newest family member: Vina, aged 5 |
Her delightful message is passed on through her carer - Estaela Tiamano - which I've translated below. It includes another hand-outline drawing - last time I got a green hand! I love it!
"Vina Horacio is well, she plays with her 3 brothers and carers. She is 5 years old and does not go to school because of her age. Her ambition is to become a doctor in the future. Finally she sends greetings to you."
