World Vision Child Sponsorship

More than 12 million African children have been orphaned by war and disease. They cannot afford health care and must sacrifice their education for daily survival. Some of these boys wind up joining rebel troops in order to have a support system, and many girls are sexually exploited and forced into abusive marriages as children. World Vision is a non-profit organization that allows people to personally sponsor a child for a dollar a day or give gifts of health care, food, shelter, livestock, agricultural training, micro-loans, maximum impact funds, and protection for orphans, single mothers, and sexually exploited girls and women. Sponsored children might be orphans, AIDS victims, or simply members of the poorest family within their community. World Vision finds villages that need the most help, sets up a temporary branch nearby, and begins working right away to rebuild the community. With the pooled money from child sponsors and government grants, WV workers can improve education, health care, agricultural resources, and water sanitation for everyone in the community, while helping sponsors to develop a personal relationship with their child through letters and other communication. When a village becomes self-sufficient, World Vision moves on to another impoverished area and establishes a new branch.

I began sponsoring a four year old girl named Haja from Sierra Leone in early February. Her family tries to farm but they lack the proper resources and fertile land, so they have been reduced to extreme poverty. I've mailed her packages and letters, and I can honestly say that sponsoring her is the most rewarding thing I've ever done in my life. I think about her mother and how relieved she must have felt when World Vision told her they'd found a match for one of her three daughters.

My only regret is that I cannot afford to sponsor more than one child.

PLEASE go online to worldvision.org and look at ways you can save lives with the money it would take to order dinner, buy a dvd, or go to a bar. It will change your life too.
