Bob, Laura and Evan Weller have sponsored PPP children for several years. Currently they sponsor Tobias Miglietta Ferreira who they met on their recent trip to Paraguay in August. They write about their experience:

“We just returned from a wonderful journey back to Paraguay. It had been 11 years since we left Asuncion with our beautiful son. Then, we were so anxious to get home . However this time to was hard to leave and say goodbye to the wonderful people that had made our journey so special. The PPP staff, the children and families PPP serves and especially the child we sponsor were so warm and wonderful that we feel like they are part of our family now. We are already planning our next trip back to Paraguay.”

“The visit with Tobias really touched us. Tobias’s beautiful smile and sparkling eyes were the first thing we saw as he walked into the PPP office with his grandmother who is raising him and 4 other siblings. Tobias’s family history is sad in that he and his siblings are separated from their mother while she works in Argentina. The children and their grandmother live in Chacarita near the Paraguay River and even though they live in poverty they invited us to their house to see the beautiful view of the river. It was heartbreaking for us to see the conditions and circumstances in which Tobais lives and yet when we arrived he threw his arms around us and was so proud to show us his house. We want to do more to help this family and all the other PPPP families. PPP is an amazing organization with a devoted staff. They deserve all of the support that we can give them.”
