Child Sponsorship

I visited an organization in Ethiopia called Friends of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (FOVC). Last fall they launched their child sponsorship program. In January, I had the privilege of taking all the sponsorship pictures. Several of our team members were already sponsoring children. We were able to meet them face to face and receive the letters they wrote to us.

Larry and Kathy reading the two sponsorship letters they received. Below is Kathy and one of her two sponsored children.

I can't tell you how incredible it was to meet my sponsor child! It was wonderful. I am SO thankful I found out about FOVC and went on this trip. It changed my life!

Sharon, who is heading up the sponsorship program, receiving a sponsor letter and helping Desalegn pass out the gift sent over by the sponsor family.

LeeAnn and Kevin receiving their letter.

Desalegn had so much fun passing out these gifts!

This precious girl received a gift from her sponsor family. It came in a beautiful gold box all wrapped up. She didn't know to open the box. She thought the beautiful box was the gift. We helped her open it and Julie helped put on the beautiful necklace that the box contained.

After our team returned home and shared stories many more children were sponsored. If you would like any information on child sponsorship click here.

These children live in a village with 2 unfiltered wells. I am raising money this week to help dig another well (which will be filtered). The well will provide the FOVC children access to clean drinking water. If you would like to donate to my fundraiser click here.
