Final Letter:
Juana is another child, well, now adult, who I hope is doing well. It is always sad when the reason for leaving the project isn't positive. But I know that God knows where she is and He is always with her!
"Dear Sponsor,
We greet you in the name of Jesus. We thank you for the support you gave her. She received her scholar materials, a backpack, shoes, etc. She will no longer assist to the project because of her family's problems and she had to move to another community far away from the project.
