You feel part of their family

Actually meeting the sponsored children in real life is truly amazing, they are always very excited to see you and love to receive the 'goodies' you've managed to take for them. We were especially pleased to meet their parents who are without doubt very thankfull for your continuing help.

Their homes are extremely basic but whatever they have they share with you. You get a sense of amazement on their part that you've actually bothered to help and visit them, lots of hugs and laughter. You're made to feel like the Queen!

It is both humbling and inspiring and certainly puts your life in perspective. We have learned so much from the people of this small country and always look forward to returning every year to see how the children have grown. You feel part of their family.
