Who still needs Christmas gifts?

I have allotted a goat and chicken to Rephe since no one has given anything to her specifically. Rachel Steward gave two goats and a friend of Anita's gave two chickens and so Rephe could have one each if she gets no other gifts.

Zainabu O doesn't have a gift yet

Lydia doesn't have a gift yet. I am particularly fond of her.
 

Asman doesn't have a gift yet although I have contacted his sponsor many times--she isn't on the computer and hasn't answered me through the mail. He is a particularly needy boy who doesn't seem to have a clue. But his grandfather died last year and he lives with the uncle who barely makes it at a factory job. Asman has a 15 year old sister and they are trying to send her to school. Then maybe the young uncle has a baby? Or was that the 15 year old sister? I met a girl at the compound with a beautiful healthy baby who was under 6 months. We tried to have the garden at Asman's but the dirt was too poor. It is now at Henry's home.

Yvonne is a ray of sunshine. She has HIV and is on medication. She is a very loving and sweet happy girl--very thankful and energetic.

Sharon has been sick for some time. We don't know the cause. It is awful because they want her to have a brain scan--but if we found even a tumor, what could we do? Please pray for her health. I care so deeply for her. Even surgery, if she could get that--then what? what if she was permanently disabled? We don't know the problem but she has seizures and swelling. It interferred with her schooling last year although she is very bright.

Wallace is such a smart young man and we expect great things. He is very scholastic and math oriented. Probably a budding programmer! He is in boarding school and doing well.
