Fanny, Our Adopted Daughter

Our sweet, "adopted" daughter, Fanny

Fanny is one of the young girls who lives in INVU and has been part of our Kids Club and now Youth Group since we have been here.  She is now 15 and is truly a "diamond in the rough".  She has dreams of visiting the US one day and she wants to study to be a Marine Biologist.  She loves life and loves to act and sing.  She is very active in our Youth Group and will have one of the leading roles in the Christmas Play we will do for the Kids Club Christmas Outreach.  When we were offered the opportunity to sponsor someone to attend the local bilingual school we both immediately thought of her and she is about to complete her 2nd year there.  We were given money from a family who's wife/mother had died and they asked that it go towards a school scholarship for a young person.  That scholarship lasted about 1/2 a year, but the Lord told us to continue on sponsoring her and He would provide.  Up to this point, He has continued to provide for her schooling through our personal support and she is thriving!  She has learned SO much English and she was even Secretary of her 8th grade class this year.  She just participated in the "English Day" school drama where she had one of the lead roles.  We are SUPER excited about this opportunity she has had and thankful to the Lord that He has provided!!  This is an opportunity she NEVER would have had otherwise.  She has a wonderful mother who cares for her and is so thankful for this opportunity for her as well.  Please pray for Fanny as she continues to study and as she faces the normal difficulties and temptations of teenage life.  It is such a fight to live a Godly life here in the neighborhood where she lives and in Jaco in general.  Here are a few pictures of her play from Friday night.  Lastly, if anyone feels led to give specifically towards Fanny's school sponsorship please contact us and let us know.  Thanks!
