The power of a letter

Bringing comfort into a child’s situation.

In response to the poverty you see in the world, you feel a little weaker each time you see the despair.

A child walks through rubble left behind after flooding at her house.  The brick house has a gigantic hole in the side of it.

Your heart is a little heavier with the next bad news story or the look of loss and defeat in the eyes of the child living amongst rubble on the news.

Can you touch this hopelessness? Reach out and interact to bring any relief at all?

Through sponsoring a child with us you really are. You’re lifting a child from poverty, reigniting hope in their heart.

As well as this financial help, look how your letter can light up a bare room.

Silvia Dinda Maheswari Kusumaning Putri, 8 year old girl, child, lives in Solo. She is third born of seven children. She attends Samaan church Sunday School and the child development center IO837. Her father is Mr. Hendro Wiyono, and his three children all are registered at the center: Devita, Dinda and Duma. At the center Dinda receives educational classes, spiritual growth, medical immunizations and vaccinations, medical check ups, nutritious food, and socialization in classes providing healthy growth and development. She and her brother both received bicycles for their good grades at school from the mayor. Her home is next to a railroad track in a low income neighborhood.  Dinda, wearing a orange shirt, looks up smiling tenderly, gently, holding in her hands a sponsor letter, mail, correspondence paper, reading at her home, this image is in a dark room.

Bring comfort into their situation, knowing that someone, somewhere cares.
