I am thankful for the freedom to live my life by following Jesus. For God's amazing reckless love for humanity. For Esmaliy and the progress she has made over the years. For all the staff and workers of CI

What a touching video! Children International gives us the opportunity to positively impact the lives of the precious children we sponsor: Chilenga, Maria, Donald, Eesha, Riya, Fridah, Leidys, and Ashley. God has blessed us and has given us a powerful and meaningful way to share our blessings with these beautiful children. We so enjoy watching them grow and receiving their letters and artwork. Thank you Children International!

Seeing this video brought me to tears. I'm so happy for all of my 50 Sponsor kids. I'm great full to all the many Volunteers that help the CI staff with all those children. I will always Pray for their safety. Without the wonderful staff and Volunteers those children would not get the help they need . I hope CI will keep growing each year, so that many more children can be helped. I pray that many more people will start sponsoring children.

So very simple and right to the point. Thank you Children International for all the work you do and how nice it has been to give these last years until these children will soon be adults. God bless all of you here :)

Your video of the children receiving photos of themselves as young children is truly heart-warming. I loved it! I hope that the 2-3 children whom I have sponsored but who left the program early received photos like these as a parting and loving gesture.

As a humanist, I am glad that Children International exists to provide a means for human beings to help each other, especially to help those forgotten or those with plights not well known. A sponsored smile gives hopes that steps taken - even if small - matter.
