Tina's gift

One of our newest girl's here at HCH is named Tina. Here she is on one of the first days with the family:

Luckily we were able to find her first sponsor a couple of weeks ago. They're local in North Carolina so we were able to grab a few small gifts and pictures for Tina from them before we left. The first night here we were going through all the things we had brought (it took awhile thanks to everyone who pitched in). Leann came across the stuff for Tina and said “You want a picture of this?” So we got a our camera and awaited her response...

As you can see, we got nothin'. Oh well.

A day goes by, and I notice Tina sitting at the kitchen table drawing intently. Figuring that she was using the new stuff from her sponsor, I snuck up behind her and took this picture:

There's Tina drawing beautiful pictures on her new paper with her new pencils, stopping every few minutes to take a look at the picture of her sponsor--as if for inspiration. Awesome.
