Dear Sponsor, 

This is Mariam. I am already in 4th grade in school. I finished the 3rd grade with excellent grades, and now I started the new school year.  

During my summer vacation, I attended dance classes, read books, and helped my mom with house chores. 

I haven’t seen my father since I was a little child, but I wish so much he were with us! Life was very cruel towards my mother, but I want to see her smile. She does everything for me, and I want to grow up and see her happy.  

Dear Sponsor, I want to thank you for being at my mom’s and my side. 

Thank you!
