Your sponsored child Shaha, Ruma Rani 02.01.2002 - Dear Sponsors, At Eatser, we celebrate hope, joy, and the promis eof new life in Jesus Christ! THis is a wonderful time of the year to express your love for your sponsored child, Ruma Rani Shaha. That's why I've neclosed a beautiful Eatser card for you to send to her. Ruma Rani will enjoy this card, with a lovely illustartion of an adorable lamb. It will truly be a treasure, because it comes from you! Easter is an oppurtunity to share the message of eternal hope with children everywhere. However, in Bangladesh, where your sponsored child lives, our workers must carefully honor restrictions regarding Christian teaching. That's why we;ve taken the utmost care in writing the message for this Easter card. Will you pray with us that this card will touch your sponsored chld's heart in a special way? Even though it is simple and brief, I believe God can use the message inside, along with your loving greeting, to impress upon Ruma Rani that His love is everlasting! Please take a moment now to peel off the sticker and place it on the back of your sponsored child's card. Then sign your name inside and return it to World Vision in the envelope provided so that we can deliver it for you. And as you send this acrd today, will you also consider enclosing an extra gift to help other hurting children this Easter---boys and girls who are in desperate need? There are still thousands of children who live in communities where sponsorship is not available. Others are enduring crises that can not be addressed thropugh sponsorship funds alone. Still more children whose sponsors can no longer afford to make a monthly commitment. Now more than ever, World Vision must answer God's ca;; to be a vessel of help and hope to all of the children He entrusts to us. To do that, we rely upon you---our generous, caring friends. To help us be equipped and prepared to meet every need that arises, we've established the Childcare Ministries Fund. Will you send an Easter gift o support this crucial fund? When you return your sponsored child's signed Easter card, simply enclose a donation of $25, $50---or any amount you can send.

I want to thank you in adavnce for signing and returning your Eatser card---and for any gift you can send to the Childcare Ministries Fund.
