What those 38.8 million people need to do is examine their own lives and lifestyles and see how they can change the lives of the poor. You can't expect that governments will do something about it, individuals need to do what they can to improve the lives of others...sponsor a child, provide for a home income generating business, contribute to the HOPE fund. That may mean giving something up for oneself so that you can contribute more to help others.evergreen3https://www.blogger.com/profile/14105346948636103090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260653480605721255.post-1939463789847722752007-10-18T13:16:00.000-05:002007-10-18T13:16:00.000-05:00The results are in!

Telling others about the mission and goals of Children International and the many other similar humanitarian organizations around the world is powerful. I personally don't have great financial resources to offer(I wish I could sponsor many more children!!), but I CAN educate and encourage others to STAND UP against poverty by sponsoring a child. It's a small contribution with big returns. Together we can our world.<BR/><BR/>THANK YOU CI staff and board for your amazing efforts. Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
