Today was a very special day as we celebrated our dear Jovan's birthday!
Before Jovan joined our sponsorship program in 2023, his birthday was never celebrated. Not because his mother didn't want to, but because of poverty. There was simply no way.
But for the last 4 years, everything changed because of one amazing family. Mom Sherry and her family have loved Jovan and his family so deeply.
Since 2023, Jovan has been receiving not just his full tuition, spiritual development, uniform, shoes, and school requirements, but also Christmas gifts and birthday gifts. Mom Sherry never forgets - she always reminds me when his birthday is approaching.
Today we celebrated with a big cake and sodas for all his friends! And the most special moment - Jovan got the chance to video chat with his sponsor and her entire family. It meant the world to him. Every birthday, he gets that special time to speak with them, and today was so beautiful and stood out for him.
Thank you so much, Mom Sherry and family, for giving Jovan a reason to smile, to dream, and to feel so loved. You have truly changed his story.
Please help us thank his wonderful sponsor! Take a look at these wonderful pictures from his birthday today.
With love,
