Child Sponsorship Event

The children

As a child ambassador for World Vision, a lot of what I do is just talk to individuals about child sponsorship. However, sometimes I will be having booths at events to get the word out about child sponsorship. Today was my first such event. I started at my own church…on my home turf so to speak…but I was still super nervous. I told myself that even if no children got sponsored, it was still worth all the work

My ten reasons for sponsoring a child!

because it probably planted some seeds about child sponsorship in people’s minds and hearts. I am happy that I took the risk of putting myself out there. It can only benefit the children and the people with whom I speak.

I am so excited because two children got sponsored! Two children will be given so much hope and love. Their communities and families will be better off with the help they receive. Each child sponsored breaks one more link in the long chain of poverty.

There were quite a few other people who seemed interested with whom I’ll need to follow up in the next couple weeks. It was fun to speak with so many people in my church about this issue. Many have had lots of experience with child sponsorship or other ways of helping children in poverty. To others, it was completely new. I have included pictures of the displays I made in case anyone is interested!
