I am proud to be a part of this organization. I visited my sponsored child, Rahima, last December. She was so nervous to meet me at first, but soon was smiling. I was happy that her parents were there to support her educational efforts. She has ambition and wants to study and work hard. At heart, she is still a little girl. She would like a talking doll, which I hope to take her on my return trip this December with my children. With our constant efforts, she will be educated and then one day will educate her children. If we do this enough times, we will strive towards educating a nation. I look forward to seeing my sponsored child again. –Dr. Shahan Chowdhury Coppelle, TX
