I met my sponsor boy in August 2005 at the distribution day. I was very nervous because I don't have kids either, and I had no idea what I'd say to him etc. I'm so glad I met him. He was such a gorgeous little thing and words weren't really all that important anyway. My driver was able to act as interpreter for me when talking to my boy and his father, so we were able to have a small conversation. The look on his face when I gave him a backpack with assorted goodies inside (toys, books, toothbrush and toothpaste etc) was priceless.
I'm hanging to get back and see him again this August and see how much he's changed.
Your husband will be missing out if he chooses not to go, and so will you. :)
