my sponsor child in Bangladesh

Recently a co-worker of mine, Melissa B, had a chance to spend some time in Bangladesh. This is the country where my sponsor child, Mousumi B lives . . . . and Melissa got a chance to visit with her, via local staff. This was so exciting for me!

I've been sponsoring Mousumi for about three years. Since I started with Food for the Hungry, I've traveled 15+ countries, but none of my visits were to Bangladesh. I have visited a lot of sponsored children in my time at FH, but none of them mine.

It was so wonderful to hear about the visit, my eyes welled up with tears. Mousumi has been going through a really difficult season lately. Her father passed away about 5 months ago and in a country like Bangladesh, this is a huge lost.

During the visit, Mousumi brought out all the letters and pictures that I had spent her during the years. She told Melissa all that she knew about me . . . . about my family and that I'm getting married soon. She even gave Melissa some gifts to take back to give me.

I'm honored to be involved in the transformative work that God is doing in her life.

Above are some pictures of the visit, and Mousumi's family.

Overjoyed and sad at the same time,
Josh
