Achelun is so friendly that he never has trouble making new friends. One day, he dreams of finishing school and becoming a successful doctor in his village. He loves to be creative and his favorite activity is drawing beautiful pictures. Achelun?s parents work as petty traders in their village for a small income; however, they struggle to make ends meet. Although they are supportive of Achelun?s dreams, they frequently struggle to make ends meet. Through sponsorship, Achelun will receive things like nutritious meals, clothing, basic medical care, and a continuing education.

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
