Each day 29,000 children die from hunger and hunger-related diseases - that's one child every 5 seconds. 6,000 children die every day because of disease-infected drinking water. Every day, 6,000 children are orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
The figures are staggering. And it's easy to think that there's not much that we can do about it. But there is!
I wanted to post this blog to ask each and every one of you to just consider child sponsorship through World Vision. World Vision is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty.
Motivated by faith in Jesus, World Vision serves the poor-regardless of a person's religion, race, ethnicity, or gender-as a demonstration of God's unconditional love for all people.
This month I was accepted as a Child Ambassador for World Vision. My "job" is to speak for the children who are voiceless, impoverished, marginalized and suffering. Child sponsorship allows you to make the difference in a child's life. You'll have a one on one relationship with that child through correspondence and prayer.
The cost? It's only $30 a month or $35 a month for a Hope Child (a child whose life is affected by HIV/AIDS). That's like sacrificing going out to dinner once a month! I invite you to think about it...Think about making a difference. It could mean the difference between life and death for a child. Between opportunity and education, or a life of continued poverty.
Congratulations koorig jan, on becoming a child ambassador for world vision. Thank you for being a blessing for others. It was a privlege being your first audience along with our 38 other famine participants as you shared your responsibilities and ours. Thanks for sharing the various ways to help make a difference!
