Less than 1 month to go!!

We have less than one month to go before we hit the one year mark of the sponsorship program.  As I mentioned earlier, there are still so many children waiting for sponsors.  Our goal is 350+ children to have sponsors by our anniversary date of May 1st. 

So many exciting things are ahead- monthly distributions, lots of photos, and if your child attends every distribution and they are one of those children who like to write, they can now write every month or more if they want to.  We want the sponsor-child bond to be strong, so we encourage you to write regularly and tell your sponsor child about your life.  Ask them about their life, and soon you will have conversations going back and forth across the ocean.  The children LOVE photos- photos of your family, pets, interesting things, activities, and anything else you can think of.  They cherish all of their letters and photos.  They like to see the photos of themselves.  Some of the children have never seen what they look like- they have not seen a mirror nor do they have cameras, so it is very exciting for them to get photos of themselves.  They show off their letters and photos to family and friends, and enjoy being sponsored. 

I can now say that 300+ children are successfully sponsored!!  We only need a little under 50 more children to find sponsors in order for us to reach our goal of 350 by May 1st.  I have letters from unsponsored children here, so if you would like to pick a child based on what they write about, drop me a line, and I will tell you what is in their letter(s).  Obviously, I can't post here what all of the letters say because there are hundreds of them, but I am happy to tell you about any child you are interested in.  Please spread the word about our sponsorship program.  The more people who know, the higher the chances are that children will be sponsored.  You can play a part in ending the wait for a child!!  I can not fully described just how much having a sponsor means to the sponsored child and their family.  There are very few things in life that can bring as much enjoyment as giving a child hope for the future, and putting a smile on their face in the present!!
