Child Sponsorship

*this is post 2 on a series of entries related to Orphan Care, the first post can be read here*


Child Sponsorship

The concept of child sponsorship is not a new one. Usually such endeavors cost around $30/month with various organizations. It is important to note in child sponsorship that some organizations focus on OVC’s while others sponsor various children in need. Both are worthy causes, but in the endeavor to help orphaned children, this should be considered. The child sponsorship programs below are specifically for orphaned children.

Orphan Care International

Dillon International partners with Orphan Care International to do just that. More information can be found at www.dillonadopt.org

Young Heroes

In addition, local organizations in specific countries may have child sponsorship opportunities as well since the burden of orphans on society has become great. The Young Heroes program in Swaziland is one such program. More information can be found at http://youngheroes.org.sz/

Thought it was interesting that Primetime aired "Beyond Love: The Road to Adoption" this week.
