Can you put a price tag on a child’s future?

In this time in our economy many people and families are closely watching how they spend their money.  They are eating in more, traveling less and cutting down on extra expenses.  However, most people are still managing to pay for their necessities and many are still finding room for the little luxuries in life that we as U.S. citizens have grown accustomed to.

I am challenging you to think about what you spend your money on each month.  Even in these hard times, we Americans who only account for 6% of the worlds population, have half of the world’s wealth!

What can you get for $28.00 a month these days?  A few cups of coffee from Starbucks, one tank of gas, maybe dinner for 2?  Certainly not health care for you and your entire family!  You probably couldn’t send your kids to school for that price, or even buy their school supplies!  What about sending your kids to camp each Saturday of the month!  Probably not!

In Rwanda, $28.00 a month will provide a child and their family, not just one, but all of those things and more.  Children in our sponsorship program receive health care for themselves and up to 7 members of their family, school tuition, school supplies and they are invited to attend a Bible Club each Saturday!  It is amazing how far a dollar can go to change the life of a child in Rwanda.

For just $28.00 a month you can bring hope to a child who previously had no dream of a future.  You can change the life of an orphaned street child, by giving them the opportunity to go to school and grow up to have a job.  You can help a widow send one of her many children to school, allowing her to spend her meager earnings on food instead of her child’s tuition.

Please take time to consider how far such a small amount can go!  Can you spare $28.00 to change the life of a child forever?  The results are priceless!
