Para mi es un placer enorme contribuir un poco en la vida de un niño que no tiene las facilidades que mi familia y yo tenemos, tengo más de un año de apadrinar a mi querido Fred no lo conozco personalmente pero lo quiero muchísimo y espero un día viajar a conocerlo en persona

Sometimes life gets in the way of keeping up, but this is one of the important things in my life. Watching each sponsored child grow from very young to young adult and seeing their progress is a great reminder that one person can make a difference. I had the joy of meeting one of my sponsored children, and to this day regret that they dropped out of the program and that we lost contact. I hope and pray that they know in their heart that I still care. My current child in now a teen and it is such a joy to see the motivation she has to excel and have a career, not just a job. I anxiously await each message from and about her. Thank you for reminding me that I can make a difference. Karen

Thank you so much for this! It brought tears to my eyes. The best part of sponsoring children is receiving their photos and letters every so often, and seeing directly what an impact such a small (to us) sacrifice can have on wonderful children far away from me. Love you guys at Children.org, keep up the amazing work!

It is my privilege and honor to be able to help these deserving children. So much cruelty and injustices in the world today. If I can play even a small part to bring some happiness and joy into their lives that is reward enough!

I work for US Customs and Border Patrol. it was so disheartening to be on my side of the badge seeing smugglers using young children from South America, The Caribbean, and Central America to smuggle contraband. After arresting a young child who had swallowed Cocaine pellets, I decided to "adopt" teen-aged boys in Colombia to give them a chance at something better than gangs and abuse by criminals. So far, three of "my boys" have grown up into adulthood with much better futures. Looking forward to my next Colombian teen-aged child - perhaps a girl this time?

We have been sponsoring children in the Philippines since about 1998. It is so wonderful to know that your organization continues to thrive and to help families all over the world in bettering the lives of their precious children. Our son served a church mission in the Philippines from 1995-1997 and helped us appreciate the great need there is in this beautiful country.

I love knowing I'm making a difference in a child's life by providing them school supplies, presents for their Birthday, and Christmas. Knowing I'm helping their families, some that don't have the money to by the things they need that Children International provides for them through their sponsors.

Es un gran placer para mi el ayudar a Children International en la gran labor que realizan con los ninos brindandoles educacion, cuidados medicos. Darles dias
felices como sus cumpleanos, Navidades, y programas especiales para divertirse. La Organizacion esta ayudando a formar los hombres y mujeres del futuro.
Los admiro por su bella mision que estan realizando. Dios los Bendiga siempre. Es mucho mas satisfactorio dar que recibir.

Watching the Happy Anniversary video today truly warmed my heart. Seeing the heartfelt thanksgiving expressed by children from all around the world was so touching, that if, for some reason, my soul would be required of me this night, I would depart this life a very rich man, having been universally connected with my fellow man.

Thank you so much for the Anniversary video. It does my heart good to know that I have a part in enriching the lives of children around the world. I have watched her grow up through pictures and letters and look forward to continuing to help children through Children International. I praise your tireless work and I praise my CI child for blossoming, and learning. Thank you for keeping her safe, healthy and educated. Judy 4/22/21.

I am happy to know that I can help my sponsored girl and her family have more of the necessities of life. I enjoy receiving her letters and pictures. I am not good at writing to her and I hope she knows that I do care.

My spiritual guru came to my country to to spread the ancient truths and practices of India. Because of his teachings and personal support, I have progressed much more than I could have on my own. In a small way I wanted to help someone from India, his country. Children International has given me this opportunity. I want to emphasize my appreciation and thanks to Children International. God Bless you.

The best part of being a sponsor is receiving the letters from my sponsored child, seeing the positive changes in their lives. It's not always easy to give but it's worth every cent! Sowing a seed of hope and a better life kn their tomorrow is gratifying enough.

Hello, I was once in their shoes. The fact that someone cared enough to sponsor me, I knew one day i wanted to pay it forward. It is incredibly gratifying to know that I am able to help someone reach their goals and dreams just like I was able to do. Thank you for allowing me to sponsor a child from children international. I do it with great honor and joy! Auria Cruz :)
