I have sponsored Miati from Indonesia since January 2009 and since then I am always on the lookout for information about Indonesia. Miati lives on Timor Island which is the Eastern part of Indonesia. Its quite remote and I havent found very much info about it so far. Thank you for the links and book recs. :)

We began sponsoring Ronaldo in 2008. His birthday is January 4th which is the same as my mom's. My Dad's name is Ronald, so it was a perfect fit for our family. My kids were excited that this young man from Indonesia shared a birthday and name with their grandparents. :) He is a sweet boy who is always asking for wisdom so he can do well in school.
