Wow! That is a fantastic accomplishment! My daughter is an anesthesiologist and works at a major hospital in Minneapolis. She loves her work and the great team she works with. She just had her second child and her team is so supportive of her. Robin has been on two medical teams to Antiqua. She brought me along on the second team. I was privileged to watch her at work at the hospital one day. The last day we climbed the mountain to visit my sponsored child. It was a thrill for both of us. Being a woman and a mom and a doctor is all possible in today's world. Go for it! We send you our love and our encouragement. You will be able to catch up on your sleep as well - not all the time, but enough! We are both Very Proud of YOU! Barb Olson Dear Marianela,

We just got another round of updates, so we have a few more phone calls to make, but this is a case where no news from us is good news! The updates that are still rolling in are families who are reporting that they need new shoes, or replacement documents like birth certificates, not major damage. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call the sponsorship staff at 651-917-1045." Feel free to leave a message for Kate Heider if you have more questions!
