Need help translating a letter from French to English.
This is a letter from a teenager in Haiti to his charitable sponsors in the US - I've done my best to transcribe from his handwriting but there may be some spelling errors mixed in:
Cher [sponsor],

Dear (Sponsor),
Today is, for me, a moment of joy to have found a chance to write to you to thank you for all that you have done for me and to have sent me to school. I like my school and my professor is very nice. Sending you lots of love and a hug.
Your godson,
