Dear sponsors:
My family and I send you a special greeting and a hug. I want to share with you that I did very well at school this year. I go to the gym every other day; I am a member of the school’s band; I will turn 15 years old and will graduate from middle school this year.
I also want to tell you that I have enjoyed good health. I like English very much, I like to go out with friends and have a beautiful family. I hope this year that is about to end was a year to fulfill goals. I also hope you are enjoying good health.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the New Year bring blessings to you!
I invite you to come to visit Colombia, especially my town El Cocuy which attracts tourism at the national level because of its snowcapped mountain. You are always in my prayers.
With appreciation,
Laura Vanessa
