Sponsoring a Child through CFCA

Terry dear, this one's for you! Here is your young man, reading your letter with me...he actually liked to spell each word and then I would read it. So sweet.

Note to readers/viewers: I had the privilege of visiting a young man outside of Warangal, AP, India, who is sponsored through CFCA by a dear friend in the US. Have you considered sponsorship? Spend just $30 a month and change lives...yours, and your sponsored child's!

This video was made at the beginning of our visit...I was invited to join the native dancers in the joyous celebration!

Welcome Malcolm Greeley Kaiman


Look who Ali brought into the world on Christmas Night. At nine minutes to nine (and, being in India, I know the power of the Auspicious Number Nine.) Mr. Malcolm Greeley Kaiman showed his beautiful face!
We are all over the moon! The best Christmas present ever.

Here he is in his parents' arms...can you imagine how great it feels to be looked upon by such a loving Mama and Papa?

This Grandma will snuggle with him in less than a month. Woo hoo!

Verifying My Humanity

Have you run across this phrase:

Verify Your Humanity ?

I enrolled in a neat new website (seems like it is also a blog) called http://www.librarything.com/.

On it, I found wonderful recommendations on books to read, complete with reviews. A fun way to meet others who are reading the books I am reading, discover similar, satisfying works.

When signing up, I had to punch in some letters, to assure the domain that I wasn't a robot or spamming robojoiner...hence the webmaster's requesting phrase, VERIFY YOUR HUMANITY.

The request made me think: How Do I Verify My Humanity....beyond just correctly typing a letter jumble?

MY LIST, TO DATE
