I am currently a college student and I sponsor one child in Guatemala. I have benefited from sponsorship because it has made me more aware of the issue of poverty throughout the globe. I enjoy writing letters to the little girl and hearing back from her about how her family is doing, her friends and the games they play, and what she wants to be when she grows up. She has told me that because of my sponsorship she believes she will be able to attend higher education and wants to become a teacher. With sponsorship her family receives food, clothes and other basic necessities that otherwise they would have much trouble providing because her father is a seasonal worker - he works only during harvest season.
