Child Rescue (Click here)

Naomi and I have two sponsor children which we have had for a few years now. We sponsor then through "Compassion". They do an amazing job. Its been fun seeing their progress and getting letters and drawings from them. The most amazing thing is just seeing the change that some money can make.

For us at times when money has been tight, Ive thought, "if only we had that extra money from those sponsor kids. Their taking all my extra money!" Yes, I know that's a terrible thought.

But to be honest it can be expensive, and for that reason I'm looking for projects that make a real difference but can be more affordable for people who only have a bit to give. World Vision have some great programs. I found this fantastic project in which you can give as little as $15 a month. $15 is nothing! I spent twice that on the Chinese I had for dinner tonight! But with that $15 you can change someones life.

Why don't you check this out and give $15 bucks this month. It is easy to sign up. Just follow the prompts. you could do it in the next 5 min.










"CHILD RESCUE" What is it?

Child Rescue reaches out to children who are struggling to survive in the most appalling situations.

The program focuses on children who are beyond the reach of child sponsorship. Some have no parents or have just escaped from a brothel or factory. Some are the victims of human trafficking and slavery. Many are homeless, trying to survive on the streets.

Child Rescue helps to free vulnerable children from suffering, exploitation and abuse and provides them with the support and opportunities they need to reclaim their lives.
