Shafick is a social little boy with many village friends. He is attending school for the very first time and appreciates the opportunity to be around other kids his own age and attend classes together. In his free time, Shafick can usually be found playing soccer outside. One day, with a creative heart, he hopes to become an artist. Unfortunately, Shafick has faced more than his fair share of struggles through his short life. His mother and father have done their best to provide for his needs, but due to tough financial circumstances, they are often unable to meet them. Through sponsorship, Shafick will now receive things like nutritious meals 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
