African children have died
from starvation. That's one child from Africa every six seconds. That's not a click of the fingers every six
seconds and a child dies, but a long painful journey of
malnourishment, pain and suffering, all the worse for very
young children who cannot understand why their bodies are
suffering so badly. And then they close their eyes. And its
over.
But its just beginning for millions more. For decades, money
has been poured into the poorest nations of the Earth and
yet still children are dying needlessly. Fortunately, gone
are the days when food was simply delivered to communities
which was then eaten and the wait would begin for the next
truck load.
Today, with child sponsor programs, children are helped
within their own community to develop sustainable lives by
providing goats, chickens and seeds and water to help grow
their own food, receive better healthcare and receive
education so that these foundations can be built upon for a
better and long lasting future. You can make
a difference. We're not asking that you necessarily take on
a long lasting child sponsor role (although we would urge you
to do so) but we do ask that you help provide a clean water
tap, a mosquito net, some seeds or perhaps a goat to provide
milk. Look around
you, would a few pounds donated make such a big difference
to your life however tight things are? Just a few pounds can
save a life. Today. |
