He lives in Paraguay with his grandmother and has one brother. Ricardo’s family is Evangelical Christian. He receives support from his father, but neither his father nor his mother live with him. His grandmother’s wish is that he could continue his studies. He would like to be a lawyer when he grows up. He is in Grade 4 and his favourite subject is Spanish (native language). His health is average but he suffers from frequent headaches and gets muscle pains. He likes playing soccer and helps by washing the dishes. Our other Foster child, our new Foster child since 2010, is Kasu Edao Gutema. Here is her profile: Kasu lives in Ethiopia and attends Kindergarten. She knows the English Alphabet and walks 2 km to school. At the time of the last interview with her in October 2011 she was in good health and introduced herself freely at the time of her interview. She is happy, social and confident. She likes playing volleyball with her friends. Her favourite food is Bread and her subject in school is English. The family faced a difficult time this year when Kasu’s brother was sick. One of the family’s achievements was buying an ox. Kasu contributes to the family by fetching wood and water, washes the dishes, sweeps and feeds the livestock. Kasu also receives stationery materials and medical cost coverage through the benefits of the Sponsorship program. Her dream is to be a doctor and has 12 more years in the program.

A Word From our ReverendWelcome to St. Stephen's with St. James Anglican Church. It is my pleasure on behalf of both communities to welcome you home, for when you enter God's church, you are at home with family. And there is nothing better than feeling like you belong, and at St. Stephen's with St. James, you do belong. We are a community blended together with God being the mystical thread that binds us together. We are a community weaved together, in unity and in love. Please feel free to join us at any time. We always have lots to share and lots to give. Welcome, just as you are. The Rev'd Eileen |
