What Your Sponsorship Provides Twenty-five
dollars ($25) per month will provide for an orphaned child’s education, food,
clothing, medical care and adult supervision.
You have likely viewed with skepticism advertisements on TV saying
that for a small amount each month you could help a child. It is in fact true that a child can be
cared for at an incredibly low cost in many foreign countries. We know what the cost to educate children
are because the Village has run a school with 300 children for over a year. We’re pretty comfortable with estimating
the cost of food (rice at $25US per 110 lb bag is the principal
component). Due to extremely low labor
costs ($20 per week in many cases) you can afford to have the staff necessary
to care for these children. Much of
their clothing comes from For
$300 per year you can make it possible for a child with no parents to obtain
a Christian education, be feed and clothed, cared for by Bible believing
adults and provided with basic medical care.
Certainly
you could participate in this program due to guilt or even a feeling of
obligation. Much better is the joy
that comes from knowing you are making a difference is a child’s life both
for his or her physical and spiritual wellbeing. You will not receive a picture of a
specific child that you support nor a hand written letter. You will receive a monthly newsletter
describing the work of the Children’s Village which will include reports on
the children being served. |
