I recently received the Annual Progress Report from World Vision Lebanon. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much Elie has grown. He has grown into a young man now. =) There is a certain pride that swells up within me looking at his picture.... Maybe like how a parent would feel at their child's graduation, you know what i mean? Its like seeing your child grow up into a young adult, and I beam with pride seeing him all well and healthy. =D
Elie.
Its been almost five years now. He was only 10 when I started sponsoring his community. I've shared in previous posts about him, and how he changed my life in some ways. I've never imagined that time fly by so fast, that he's now maturing into a young man. In a few more years he's gonna graduate, find a job and settled down. =) sigh~ that makes me happy~~ its always been my prayer that he's safe, healthy, growing and receiving education and of course, that he'll grow up into a responsible purposeful young adult. I guess that would be every parent's dream for their child. And I have this privilege to dream and pray for Elie, as a "parent" to "son". =D
Elie, Elie, Elie.
Yea, time do pass by so fast. I am still hoping, dreaming and looking forward to the day where WV M'sia would organize a sponsors' trip to Lebanon. Would love to have meet Elie in person. =) That would have been awesome!
I was trying to calculate, the past five year, rm50 a month, rm600 a year, rm3000 was invested. What is RM 3K to you? Hmm....... To me, RM 3K is a big sum, I don't even have that kinda amount once in my bank! No denying that fact (for someone who doesn't earn much)*Ahem!*Cough!* =P But, when i see where, how some young adults would rather invest that money, ie:- IPhone, some ridiculously priced bag and clothes, actually..... yea, I am really happy where my 3K went!! =D I know one precious life was changed. =D
