Lezlie is a shy, quiet girl who spends most of her time playing with her twin sister. They especially like to play volleyball together. Lezlie is a fast learner and looks forward to her math class each day when she arrives at school. When she grows up, she would like to become a teacher so she can share her passion for learning with other children. Lezlie lives in a tiny, one-bedroom house with her sister and parents. They have to make sacrifices each day just to be able to afford food. Her father works as a conductor on a Jeepney, a type of bus popular in the Philippines, but he barely makes enough to keep the family alive. Through sponsorship, Lezlie will receive things like healthy meals and educational assistance.

Why sponsor a child?
“Child sponsorship is very rewarding because you know you're making a difference for that child. But the blessing you will receive far surpasses even the difference you make in the children's lives. You will see God at work!”
— Lita, Kentucky
“Sponsoring two little girls from Guatemala has changed the way I see life. As Christ-followers, we are called to love God and love others. I believe that we love God through loving others, and child sponsorship gives us the opportunity to do that.”
— Kayla, Virginia
“I believe child sponsorship is a way to touch the future. It's important to invest in the next generation, both here and around the world.”
— Margaret, California
