World Vision Update

My wife and I sponsor a child in Mongolia. Every now and then we receive letters, photos, and other types of updates which I always find particularly interesting. I thought I would share the most recent update I received today in case you have ever wondered what's involved in sponsoring a child. Also, you may be interested to learn that the total sponsorship money ($10 or so a week) is split between the sponsored child and the child's community.








You can find out more about sponsoring a child with world vision at the world vision website. World vision is a "Christian humanitarian organisation" which does irk me a little - what does religious affiliation have to do with helping people? It seems you can't volunteer to help unless you're "a committed Christian excited at the prospect of using the unique gifts and talents God has given you to help children and families in need". wtf.
