May we introduce? Our new sponsored child: Majoy. The girl is from the Philippines and was born in August 2014. Majoy attends primary school. Her way to school is only 30 minutes away from her home. We are happy to accompany and support Majoy for a part of her life. We will maintain regular letter contact with her.
Therefore the joint project work in the Varanasi area, where our sponsored child Seema lives, has now come to an end. Due to her age, Seema has reached the stage of life where the sponsorship usually ends. Sustainable improvements have been achieved in the core areas of our work such as education, health, basic care or the observance of children’s rights. Careful and regular evaluation has ensured progress on the ground. Sponsored children have a special role as ambassadors within a community. In order to offer many children the experience of a sponsorship, adolescents cease to be sponsored children when they reach adulthood. However, they continue to benefit from the projects that are also offered for their age group. In this way, sponsorship also gives younger children a chance to experience the joy of international exchange and to strengthen their self-confidence.
