The letter was actually a mixture of english (probably written by the ChildFund representative) and khmer (I think), the official cambodian language. So I would assume the khmer words were from him, because they were written with a pencil and it looked right out of a child's handwriting.
He even made a pencil tracing of the outline of his fingers.. That's the thing we all used to do when we were young. Haha
Sometimes I think this could just be a scam - the children could be bogus, and the letters sent to me are all written by adults who are laughing at someone who is stupid enough to send money to others half the world away. And I've had friends who had told me likewise too.
But...... I think I choose to believe in the good things.
And I'm glad that what I'm doing here, is going to a greater cause elsewhere. :)

BITCHY you!

dude, there was a BBC correspondent that often received letters from the child he was sponsoring. it was often written in english that was realistically written by a 5 year old.
so anyway one day he had a chance to visit the village, and he went to see the kid he was sponsoring. the kid could barely speak a word of english, let alone write out proper letters.
don't carry too much hope that its from makara. after all, they're just using ur donation to fund a more sustainable approach to aiding the village.
or maybe they're just swindling off your cash. like your table tennis coach.
Actually I don't doubt the possibility (likely a fact) that the child neither speaks nor writes english. If anything, it was written from ChildFund, but maybe from the family's perspective.
But I do think that it is a good effort by them in trying to foster such a relationship.
Oh well, it's seldom that I'm not skeptical so maybe it's a good thing.
Hugs! Now u feel like Angelina Jolie to me =) Muackz!
