The sweetest little interview you ever did see!

We encourage US sponsors to write letters to their children, but we also try to encourage the kids to write their sponsors. And once a year we do a general update of the entire sponsorship program. To update information with younger children, we have to verbally ask them questions (about their summer or what they want to be when they grow up). Some can be really touching (see Sara's blog). However, the thing that got my heart all mushy was watching Moldir and Kiikzhan "interview" the children in loving, tender, and quiet ways. Often children here aren't expected to express their own preferences, especially at young ages so it took some skill to help the children relax, understand the question, and to answer them. It was so heartwarming to watch!
