We're hooking up with World Vision in a time of need

Comment Published at 20:3120:314 comments4 comments86 Visits86 VisitsReport


Two weeks ago, World Vision Australia asked me to help promote their current Child Sponsorship campaign by talking about this worthy cause in my blog.

  We chatted about the tough economic times that we are all in right now and how it is becoming tougher than ever for World Vision to find sponsors for children who really are in desperate need.

 

These kids are struggling to survive in the face of skyrocketing global food prices and chronic food shortages.  That's why I reckon there's no better use of this space than to ask you all to think about sponsoring a child right now.

Just consider, for less than the cost of your daily caffeine fix, you can not only change the life of a child, but of their entire community.

This is particularly directed at Australian residents so please follow this link and find out more about sponsoring a child:

Well done Mattew on bring this topic up . .

I am a member of a group of women here in TAS whom have united and together we sponsor around 15 kids. There are twenty of us and we all throw in money which then gets put into various acounts to help these kids . .

If only many other mums, dad, grandparents, aunts and uncles did this then there would be far less starving children in the world . .

Cheers Kellz

Good idea Kellz.  I might talk to our playgroup about sponsoring as a group!
