Global Poverty Monitor

This idea came about because I would really love to see more children sponsored in schools, but problems arise during school holidays or at the end of the year, when the sponsorship would either be dropped or the teacher would take it up personally. This idea is a short-term version of child sponsorship. The money still goes to the same community, but it is a short-term commitment and the schools will see actual proof of where their money has gone.

Even though it would take several months for the fundraising project to be completed from start to finish, there is a chance that the school was be so motivated after seeing the photos of how they helped that they would be inspired to have another fundraiser for the second semester. I’m more than willing to help with the fundraising, and to meet with the students and discuss fundraising ideas. I think I owe it to World Vision to do the best job I can after returning from the study tour. And I also think that I owe the World Vision staff and the people of Mozambique a great deal after having been treated with such hospitality and friendliness.
