Sanaipei in Kenya

When Emily's sponsorship ended, the company sponsoring Emily sponsored Sanaipei in Emily's place, and we had the privilege of becoming her correspondents in October 2016! I will continue to update this post as we hear from her.


We have received 6 letters while corresponding with Sanaipei, and we have received one pastor's letter and one country director's letter. Her birthday is June 8. Sanaipei lives with her parents, who are unemployed, and with her brother and sister.
