Kidney Stone Stuck In Urethra

Card for a child in Africa

La cartolina per Chidinma Questa e' un'enorme cartolina, 27x37 cm, una delle tante che vendono qui a Lanzarote. L'ho voluta con tante piccole immagini caratteristiche dell'isola perche' la persona a cui e' destinata non conosce very many things in the world, and I could see that the most 'can in one fell swoop. Who am I talking about? A little girl named Chidinma, nine years old and lives in Nigeria. I am, more 'exactly, his supporter, his "parents" adopted at a distance. It 'just in this that I speak of sponsorship. All
and 'started last year at a time when there was so much talk about "adopting" a little' forced Madonna to Malawi that the baby (I think ...). One evening on BBC World had interviewed a representative of ActionAid UK and Interntional she stressed how important it is even more 'of adopting children in the manner in which the pop star had done (that was not even an orphan child!) the fact of adopting a distance. When you start it with a sponsorship of the monthly fee is incurred not only helps the child / to go to school, but he supports his family and even the community 'in which the whole child / a living. For a ridiculously low price of € 25 a month .... we are talking about less than one euro a day ... you can 'actually helping an entire community' to achieve those things that many of us, where we come, not I never miss (even in our thoughts!).

short, after the interview I decided to go online to find out more '. The Italian site and ' this . Immediately I decided to fill out the form for sponsorship. After about a month I get 'mail an envelope containing a photo of the girl who had been chosen for me and necessary for the adoption incominicare it, provided that it was still my intention.
Of course it was, and so 'and' started this wonderful experience.
Chidinma and 'the most' of six small children and his family live in a village in southern Nigeria in a small house made of mud with tin roofs. His family owns a small plot where he tries to cultivate the need for family needs. There are no sources of clean water in the house. If someone in the family gets sick, he must walk long distances to receive health care. Chidinma goes to school and is learning to read and write. The first I've written a letter earlier this year.

A couple of months ago I received a drawing, and that 'this:

Il disegno di Chidinma

I shall now send you my postcard and I'll post' in the envelope a little cardboard bookmark that I bought for her in Portugal before leaving.

ActionAid and 'an NGO, secular, which operates on several fronts, not just in Africa. There are many more organizations, secular and Catholic, and all offer to sponsor one of their programs. I think 25 euro a month is not really anything for most of us would be great and that many people decide to make a small contribution to help those people who are truly needy and forgotten by all, in most cases. I am glad I started this adventure!
