I am supporting 2 children in South America and Africa. As a sponsor my main responsibility is to provide a sum each month which goes to the basic necessities for a child living in one of Plan's villages. A relatively small sum for me, might change the life for someone else to the better. It also gives me a great feeling following the progress of a child through different stages in life, and receiving letters from both Sudan and Colombia, which is the country where I was born. It helps me appreciate my life and to be grateful for what I have here in Sweden.
Plan aims to achieve lasting improvements in the quality of life of deprived children in developing countries, through a process that unites people across cultures and adds meaning and value to their lives, by:
- Enabling deprived children, their families and their communities to meet their basic needs and to increase their ability to participate in and benefit from their societies.
- Building relationships to increase understanding and unity among peoples of different cultures and countries.
- Promoting the rights and interests of the world's children. -
