Sponsor A Child

It is a fact that I don't donate to any Tom, Dick or Harry charity I see on the streets. On an annual basis, I make donations to charitable bodies I deem to have some amounts of interest in, World Vision being one of which. In the light of the recent Cyclone Nargis event, I would like to bring this up again.

There are many children in this world who needs help, as much of it as possible. At S$45 a month which is equivalent to about 2 dinners with friends or a pair of shoes, it could help a community and a sponsored child. The money helps to create employment opportunities for these communities and children are made sure that they have an opportunity of being educated while not having the need to work in order to provide for themselves. Personally, I think World Vision has done a great job over the years and they have been very transparent. Their financial reports are submitted to the Commissioner of Charities and the Registrar of Companies. In return, you get to help a community, receive copies of World Vision magazines, annual progress reports and a Christmas card from your child. You are also welcome to visit and write to your sponsored child. Please do consider giving back to the community with what little we can do.
