“You are never the same again … if you get to meet your child and see the results. It is an indescribable feeling to know — and, in my case, actually hear from a mother — how what I’ve done has changed their lives.”
— Maryli R., CI sponsor since 1993
“Through Children International and the personal connection you get through letters and pictures, it makes it more than just giving money … it’s real.”

“If only all sponsors could see the good work their money provides and how they really are making a difference. It’s impossible to really appreciate the work ... until you see it with your own eyes. I heartily encourage anyone ... to make a visit.”
