"Welcome to tini58de's Colorful World" tini58de's Profile

Rocio from Peru

I am from Germany, now living near Karlsruhe. I have been fortunate to visit many countries around the world and get to know people in all different parts of the world!

And since I made friends here and there, I am much more aware of the different places and I am more concerned about what's going on there.

Especially my sponsored children in Bolivia, Mali, Brazil and China make my world a smaller one, because I have the feeling, that they are my family and I feel very close to them.

If you are interested in this aspect of sponsoring children or projects around the world, please feel free to browse through the most interesting website of Plan International or feel free to ask about the orphanage MDC = Meu Direito a Crescer (My Right to Grow) near Sao Paulo! - you might want to reach out and give a hand to a child in need yourself! Read about the recent situation here!

Other than that I had the once in a lifetime chance to be a bone marrow donor to a young Polish girl in 2003 - and in November 2005 I finally was able to contact her: she is now a lovely young lady of 19, a student of English and best of all is that her body has accepted the bone marrow and she is alive and well!!! Isn't that wonderful in the true sense of the word??? In March 2006 we finally met in person - read about it on my Krakow page!

My latest project is my personal website with ebay to support the children of the MCD orphanage! With every bid you can also support those children there! Thanks so much in advance!
