I do not have many details about this one because I am still waiting for my packet to come in the mail. But here is what I know:
I have officially sponsored a child named Chintesh in India. He lives outside the city of Nagpur and the average income in the area is around $53 per month for a household. He is 10 years old and likes playing ball and reading. He lives with both of his parents and attends school and church.
The money I am sending through Compassion International will help pay for schooling for him as well as nutritious food and other things. It will also help to support income generating programs for his parents so they may become more self-sufficient. I have had a heart for India for a long time and have wanted to go there. I am glad that I can provide this very small impact in a meaningful way. I hope to write to Chintesh frequently to encourage him with his schooling and ambitions as well as to let him know that someone is thinking about and praying for him.
If you have never head of Compassion International, please check out their website. They change lives of children and families who have no other support. They are a very responsible company as they are frequently audited and come out perfect. Over 82% of donations go directly to the needs of the child and family while the rest is used for administration and future fundraising to get more donors. Please check them out and if you can find $38 a month, support a child in need. They are such beautiful children and deserve a better chance in this world.
