Comments on: Sponsor a Child in Paraguay http://www.emeraldpass.com/blog/2009/01/06/sponsor-a-child-in-paraguay/ Random thoughts about Paraguay Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:31:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: Lidia http://www.emeraldpass.com/blog/2009/01/06/sponsor-a-child-in-paraguay/#comment-29196 Lidia Sat, 10 Jan 2009 18:34:06 +0000 http://www.emeraldpass.com/blog/2009/01/06/sponsor-a-child-in-paraguay/#comment-29196 I too have, many times, thought of sponsoring a child but either was not that content with the organization's distribution of funds (meaning how much really reaches the needy) or procrastinated and just never did. CONGRATULATIONS on doing so! Action is what really counts. I checked out PLAN and it seems that most of what is donated actually gets to the child! Clara has already made you an even a better person than you already are! I also wanted to mention a program which helps people in developing countries (and heavens knows that our beloved Paraguay needs it), who would otherwise have no resource, help themselves giving them small loans to start or continue a business. www.kiva.org You can choose the person and country you will help. Regardless, I have always felt that donating whether it be my time or money has always been something where I end up gaining so much more than what I put in!! Thanks for putting that little fire behind our 'you know what' to take action and help.

So many children who don't get the chance that they deserve in life. Personally, we give so that children can go to school. Latin American ChildCare is a sponsorship program that provides a quality, private education for children in Paraguay. My friend is the founder.
