Sponsor a Student

On this Cyber-Monday, many of us are doing online shopping. Seeking the perfect gifts for our loved ones.

Each time I hear a new story about the sacrifices that parents in rural Nicaragua are making to enable their children to go to school, I know why they do it.

Because an education is the gift of a new and better future.

Please consider adding a student sponsorship to your Christmas list this year.

$0.82 a day will give a student in Nicaragua the chance for a better tomorrow. You can correspond with your student, exchange photographs and family stories, or even go and visit him or her in person!

Student Sponsors are real problem-solvers. Add a student sponsorship to your Christmas list and give the gift of sponsorship to your friends and family today!
