Sponsoring A Child
Sponsoring A Child takes more commitment over a long period of time.
When sponsoring a child, we will need to find a child which may take a month or more. Some of the reasons are that the children will not trust our ambassador to even go look at the home until they have bet with them 3 to 6 or more times. When they go looking for a child, the child may not be in that area each time they go out. They will be coached as to what to say and usually they tell lies. So we continue to ask similar question and keep notes on each child we meet once or many times. At some point in time, if they have been getting to tell more of the truth, they also begin to trust us. Then they come to see the home and they have to agree to come and stay.
Once in the home it is a training for those who have survived the streets and this can take weeks or sometimes months. We are patient and loving and that overcomes a lot of their fears but many of them will have nightmares for months also which we hold them, hug them, talk to them, and work their bad thoughts out of their minds. Once they have been with us, maybe 2 to 6 months, they have become fully a part of the family and they will be like the children to the right and interrelate to each other with ages not being a problem. With your support, you are part of that sequence of events even happening and you will be able to talk to them, see them, and can relate to each other and they become part of your family. They will love you forever and will keep in contact with you as long as you allow them. They become so appreciative of you, a stranger, and are in awe that they are now part of your family, even though you are so far away.
The cost for covering the whole cost of sponsoring a child that you will want to have a relationship, is a need of $60.00 per month. This sounds like so much compared to what other charities say they need to support a child. When you pay for food (1 meal per day at a location), medical help, some clothing, and tutoring after school and having game times can easily do that for under $25.00 per month. But we add to that .... a building (buildings) for them to live in a family unit with an assigned parent that gives them the psychological, physical, and loving care, all clothing, all shoes, all toys, teach them English, all school fees, all school workbooks, study books and transportation to and from school, all continual medical care, and more along with so much personal time with them and possibly involved with you.
