“In times of crisis individuals discover unsuspected strength and reveal capacity for bravery, endurance, generosity and loyalty beyond all expectation… sometimes capabilities remain hidden simply because the circumstances of life do not evoke them… but sometimes the gifts have been buried by early defeat and harsh treatment, or layered over by cynicism, or held inactive by self doubt… the battles we wage… are not just exercises in compassion. They are battles for the release of human talent and energy.

Bridges of Hope is now offering child sponsorship to Rwanda and the DR Congo. Our team was working on helping move this process forward and train the people in these countries how they will organize and do this. I was very blessed to actually get to meet my sponsor child David Bizimunigu.

It truly is a powerful thing to change the life of someone. I encourage anyone who has thought about sponsoring a child for $35 a month to do so. It a crutial time as Bridges of Hope begins to grow their reach into several countries. The start of these programs are very crutial and sponsoring a child will help in a large part to grow this hope.
