As many of you know, I am a huge supporter of http://www.icnchildren.net. (I am also a current member of the Board (no board member gets paid anything which is AWESOME!!!)
ICN (International Children's Network) gets 97 Percent of the money to the children. The highest of all Sponsorship charities and well above the average of 80%. The President gets paid NOTHING and even pays for most all of his own trips when he goes on missions.
A volunteer named Hillary (she is 19) has been in Uganda helping facilitate some of the sponsorship details. Her blog crossed my desk the other day and I just have to post a snippet for you all to read:
Filling out the sponsorship papers has a good and bad side to it. It's really fun getting to spend a little bit of time with each child and to find out what their favorite class is, and what they want to be when they grow up, and to hear their stories. But it's really hard for me to force the history out of these kids, who live every day trying to escape and move on from their past.
Najjuma Jesca was the first girl in Kassanda that I talked to. She is ten years old and has one brother and three sisters. And she only has a mom. Her dad was a construction worker who fell off of a building and died a few years ago. Now her and her four siblings will grow up without their dad. As she talked to me she tried to hide the tears that streamed down her face. I can't even imagine what she's feeling. I cannot relate at all. I am so thankful for that, but it also makes it easy to just forget how much suffering so many other people go through.
To just write down their lives as a statistic, as some good information that will lead some heart in America to be moved and want to spend $30 a month to try and help a child move past the pain that that they've experienced. That thought makes me sick right now. I don't want Jesca to just be a number. I wiped those tears off of her face. It was real.
I wish I could write her pain on this blog so you might understand that these children don't just need school fees. They need love.and so much of it. By sponsoring a child, we're filling a void in their lives.
We're part of their lives now, they think about us every day, even though we're on the other side of the world. It's amazing the huge impact that we can have on them by just showing them a little bit of that love that they desire so badly.
If you want to help change the world, sponsorship is a way to do it.
