an_cat · 13-05-2006, 05:32 PM

I saw it, but I remember almost nothing from it (other than a naked ass.... LMFAO!). Hmmm. Care to share what you mean?

zeoir · 13-05-2006, 08:35 PM

Yeah Nettie i've seen it. And i liked it quite a lot!

Our kid is so cute

The cd-idea is great! I'm sure Zali would be so excited about it

Oh, that was a good movie, this guy Schmidt wrote and received letters from a child he sponsored, which he was a lonely man but he had this child who brought happiness in his life....if I remember correctly, it was a while ago!

*Drum roll*

Ok guys, it finally arrived! I received our "Sponsor a Child" welcome packet today!! I've scanned all the important information into a pdf file. Click here. Included is a photo of Zali, a letter of thanks from Save the Children, a short personal history of Zali, information on his country of Mali, and an address to which we can send mail to Zali!

I won't say anything further about Zali here, so that it is all a surprise when you read the enclosed letters in the pdf. If anyone has problems opening the file, let me know.

Akldhfa;udfh. So exciting.

OH MY GOSH, NADIA!!!!! That is amazing, and faster than I even expected it!!!!!

Wow. He's even more adorable than the little picture we had!!!!

What a sweet child. I wonder what sports he likes, maybe we can mail him baseball/football cards. He might find our American sports interesting!!!

<-- that smiley is the only thing to describe how I feel and look right now!!!

Wow wow wow. I feel sooo good about myself, and I'm so proud of everyone here for being so involved! Incredible.

I need to go read it again!

KM · 14-05-2006, 04:11 AM

OMG... AWESOME.

an_cat · 14-05-2006, 04:17 AM

I'm hoping the addition of Zali's picture in my profile is enough to get people to keep checking back here. I'm tempted to send out PM notifications of the update on Zali to people who have shown interest, but I really don't want to do that again... Sending PMs to 67 people was enough PMing for me for AWHILE. lol!

frostbitepanda · 14-05-2006, 06:04 AM

This is so amazing. I don't want to be a broken record, so just see Danielle's last two posts.

The response and the results has been overwhelming everyone. This is truly, incrediably amazing. Thank you so much for everyone; not only for donations but support, interest and involvement. This would not have been possible without the selflessness of the gracious members here.

Thanks so much again. Tomorrow night will be another meeting time for us mods, and we have many things to discuss!

Once again, thank you so much. This will all be worth it.

= me right now.

victaniac · 14-05-2006, 07:27 AM

Ohhh we have an address!

Get ready for a ton of letters Zali! So exciting!

an_cat · 14-05-2006, 07:29 AM

He has a brother too, I'll have to write one to his family!

Tell his parents what a beautiful little boy they have! awwwwwwwwwwwwwww *melts from the adorable-ness*

calicat · 14-05-2006, 05:47 PM

Thanks for uploading the welcome packet, Nadia. How exciting! He's such a beautiful child. Time to shower him with letters!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Thankyou so much Nadia for taking the time to scan those, it was great to read and get more information on little Zali!

psychosaiqa · 14-05-2006, 07:20 PM

oh my goodnes. i cannot believe that we've made such a difference in a child's life!!!!!!! i'm so proud of all of this!

ahhhh im crying this is too much

just looking at Mali makes me feel good inside.

airieslady · 14-05-2006, 11:28 PM

Thanks for all the info... can't wait to write a letter to "Zali" this is so exciting!

an_cat · 14-05-2006, 11:39 PM

An idea that I had was to have an open thread where people could leave their messages to Zali. One of us mods would copy each of the messages (along with the names of the posters who left the messages, and real first names or nick names would be appreciated so we can stay away from him reading confusing usernames

). We'd then print it out and that could be one of the letters sent to him! That way you guys don't have to spend a ton of money to mail your letters, and possibly get the address or information wrong.

Does something like that seem like something you guys would participate in?
