Hi there, This is Yuli which is what the children in Mexico called me 30 years ago. My english name is Jill, but when I was first introduced to the children in an orphanage in Monterrey, Mexico, I was confronted with strange looks and giggles.

“Jill” is not a sound that is familiar to the spanish language and most of the children cannot pronounce it (neither can many adults). So they got their heads together and decided I was to be called Yuli. They even gave me the right spelling as they wrote to their sponsors and mentioned their leaders which included me.

I come from New Zealand, hence the kiwi, and for many years now have worked off and on with websites on the internet, and bought this domain way back.

We are destined to be champions in this life – hence the kiwichamp!

This blog will cover some topics of current interest, so stop back regularly and please join in the discussion with comments.

See you soon

Yuli
