Sonia and Daliana from Cartagena

I am posting about Sonia because she is the main reason that I decided to visit Colombia again. I sponsored her for 7 years and met her in 2011 but due to unforseen circumstances, she left the program. This happened after I promised her that I would return to visit her again. I am hoping and praying that it may be possible to see her on this trip but I know that it may not be possible due to regulations.

Daliana is another child that I write to on behalf of her sponsor, through Compassion and she also asked me to visit her. I am not sure if this will be possible but I will check into it as I will have one free day available and this may work. She is very sweet and writes beautiful letters about her family and activities at the center that she attends.
