- to resist negative peer pressure
- to practice good hygiene
- for good nutrition
- for strong friendships
- to develop a tender heart
- to learn God's word
- for protection from natural disasters
- to use good social skills

- to develop her skills and talents
- to learn from the center programs

May these prayers be answered for this sweet little girl in Bangladesh, and may we be faithful to pray for her and care for her as the Lord leads us!
