We wanted our money to go directly to work, some times through church we wonder what its being used for , so this is part of the way we tithe.
We get updates, letters and pictures. It truly changes a life SO MUCH. One person we are friends with actually met his sponsor, 7 years after he was finished with the sponsorship. The kid was able to come here on a visa to go to school and looked him up. The kid would never had been educated enough to get the visa if not for the sponsorship. Face to face, directly from the heart he was thanked, incredible.

Ahh, that is great, BG! Discussing this with the wife now.There are so many children needing help. Charities like this help give an "identity" to those that would otherwise be invisible.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
