There are many ways to make a difference at
the African Volunteer network however to actually sponsor a child in Africa
is one of the most rewarding. especially for those where voluntere work is not possible. Gone are the days when the idea
of becoming a sponsor to a child meant that one child is a
village was selected to benefit from 'western' money. That's
all changed now.
Today, when you sponsor a child in Africa, you are not only making a
difference to that child, but also to his or her community as
well, as some of the help goes directly to the young person,
but within the context of where he or she lives. So, when you
sponsor a child, where does your money go and how much does it
cost? Your money goes on ensuring the young person receives
heath care and education that will take them through to
adulthood with the necessary skills and knowledge to be
self-sustaining and with the health to ensure they can provide
for themselves, their family and community. And the cost, just
50p a day, the price of a newspaper.
People often ask themselves, 'If I sponsor a
child, will it make a real difference?' Consider this. There
was a doctor who helped others who were victims of the Bali
bombing and, being one of the first on the scene, was able to
save the lives of many. It turned out he had been a sponsored
child and, without the help of someone like yourself, would
never have had the opportunity to train to be a doctor and
save others. Makes you think, doesn't it? And remember, all those images on
the television about starving children are stereotypical
(though often true). Most African kids have a cracking sense
of humour and have aspirations for a better life. Without you
that's probably beyond their reach.
