"Select This Child"

  ****Emmaculate has a new sponsor! Thank you Scott, for taking this step to change a little girl's life!***

 Another little girl on the Compassion website has my full attention. And once again, there is nothing in particular that stands out on this child, except that I keep coming back to her. That little face interrupts my sleep at night and then during the day her name persistently travels across the landscape of my thoughts.

   Emmaculate

    She is seven years old. Born in Kenya on September 17th, she lives with her mother and father and two siblings. She helps her mother in the kitchen and delights in playing ball games. She lives in the mountainous community of Ngusishi where the monthly wage is around 25 dollars. Her diet consists of maize and beans and she most likely sleeps on a dirt floor.
    My photo is not very clear, but you can follow this link and see her full profile on the Compassion website. From there you can "Select This Child" and begin a relationship with her that will change her story in so many ways.....including the story of her parents, siblings and even extended family members. Your sponsorship enables Compassion to provide for her physical, emotional, spiritual and educational needs. It's 38 dollars a month. I spend that much on Walmart brand coffee and creamer....easily. Sometimes it helps, to not think about an extra monthly bill, but to recognize how easily we spend money on simple comforts.
   
   I pray that she captures someone's heart soon. And I know that I have followed God's leading to offer her here on Come To My Rescue.

She is lovely.
The way I get pictures off of the CI website is by clicking Ctrl and Print Screen at the same time, which takes a screen shot. Then I open Paint and click Ctrl V to past the screen shot into print. Then I can crop the photo and save it as a .jpg file. Hope this helps!

Oh, that advice is worth its' weight in gold! Thank you, Michelle.
Hope you knew what I meant even with the typos. That one sentence should say "to paste the screen shot into Paint." I wasn't done with my coffee yet. ;)
On my first cup myself.
I am not familiar with "paint".
I am in the process, as we speak, of figuring it out with help from Google......
Paint is a simple drawing program that has come automatically on my computers (Widows). I find it by going to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint
praying for her. Do you know where in Kenya she is? We know an LDP graduate who is in Kenya and she visits the Compassion project. She is near Nairobi. Just found your blog from Jill's blog.

Hugs

Hi Teena!
Thanks for praying for Emma, as I find myself calling her lately. Still hoping and praying she will be found by her sponsor soon. I am not sure how far from Nairobi she is. I have a friend who lives in Kenya and could certainly find out for you. Glad you stopped by!
