We have received a letter from our sponsored child. He is from Cebu. He is turning 8 this year. 1 year older than our eldest daughter. We chose to sponsor a boy because we have two girls and we thought, it would be just like having a boy already in the family. He has 5 more siblings. He's the 4th child in their family. He said that they live in the mountains, far from school and church. And that he likes playing basketball.
World Vision is a christian organization. I made a research on this when I was given a flyer about this in a mall in Ortigas. I mentioned it then to my husband and said that I want to sponsor a boy. Then for some reason, we've forgotten all about it. Come January this year, we were in another mall in Mandaluyong. I was looking for my husband and I saw him talking to a world vision volunteer. So right there and then, we decided to sponsor a child. It was our eldest daughter who chose her "kuya", because there were several picture folders from which you can choose from. And she was also the one who wrote a letter for him that day.
Sponsoring is easy. There are several payment options to choose from. In our case, we made an annual payment of P5,400.00 through credit card. This is so we will avoid failing to give our contribution. But you can do this monthly P450 and also quarterly P1,350. Your choice.
