Just had a bit of a sobering day. We sponsor a little girl in Swaziland and decided to sponsor another recently through 'plan'. We asked them to choose a child in the area of most need and today we recieved a letter telling us about our little girl in Egypt who we are going to sponsor.
It is really good that input is going into Egypt but as we are going on holiday to the red sea it also feels a bit hypocritical when we know that not very far away our sponsored child is living in poverty.
Anyway just posted this because if anybody else wants to sponsor a child with 'plan' the link is http://www.plan-international.org/
Just feels a good way to put back into the countries we holiday in...and followed on from last nights comic relief for me..
What a lovely thought--------We gave money last night to comic relief but never thought of it in that way!--------A country we all visit and enjoy!!!! imagine if every visitor to Egypt sponsered a child for a few pounds a month, the difference in their lives would be in measurable----------definately a massive difference in their lives-------after all what is a few pounds? a few pints, a packet of cigarettes----nothing-certainly something to think about
Thanks for that Sheba, I shall be taking the details into school with me tomorrow. Many staff have visited Egypt so I think that would be our chosen area.
Brilliant stuff!
