Letters from Abimbola Mtakwishayenu, my sponsored child in Africa, installment #1

Dear Venice,

Thank you for letters you send me. They help me learn English. Today, the old white man in fancy clothes want me to be on TV. He tell me my new name is Emily Smith because rich people cannot read African. He tell me to look very sad so that rich people give us money. I say OK. He give me candy.
