Six New Child Sponsors

•  In Odisha (formerly Orissa) less than 20% of children go to school.
•  There is a direct relationship between literacy and the quality of human life.*

At Rejoice we currently have six children in urgent need of sponsorship. Their stories are tragic. One is a small 5 year old boy and his 7 year old sister whose father was a drunkard. He would pretend to hang himself to gain sympathy and ultimately money from the community, which he would subsequently squander on drink. One day his wife and children came home to see his dead body hanging before them. The mother is unable to care for her children and has asked us to take them in.

Through child sponsorship the children at Rejoice receive nutritional food, medical attention and an education providing hope for tomorrow.

The cost of child sponsorship is AUD $40 per month.
