We live in a fast-paced, so called "social" society that does a good job of keeping us consumed in our own little world. We rarely make time for things that stretch us out of our own comfort zones, and when we do, it’s usually because we don’t have much of a choice.
What if there was something we could do that would change the life of someone on the other side of the world? What if a few small sacrifices meant that a hungry child could be fed? We take for granted our overflowing fridges and heaping dinner plates, but so many people go without even the most basic necessities. There are many things we can do to make a difference, and one way is to sponsor a child.
