The Joy of Sponsoring a Child
Families and individuals can add a new dimension of joy to their lives with the sponsorship of a Mayan child. Invite a child into your heart and watch that child grow year by year under our watchful care.

Conditions
Most children in this remote region of Guatemala have little opportunity for schooling beyond the third grade; many suffer from ill health and lack of nutrition and live in inadequate housing. Your sponsorship will bring happiness and hope to a child who lives under such impoverished conditions.

How the Program Works
Letters, photos, and drawings from “your” child, and regular reports from Adopt-a-Village, will expand your experience and knowledge of where and how your child lives. Child sponsorship funds help all the children in a village with health and educational needs. However, every sponsor may arrange for small gifts or needed items, such as food for the family, medical and dental checkups, clothing, and school supplies. Some sponsors visit their children, a truly memorable experience for both sponsor and children.

How to Become a Sponsor
Go to the Photo Galley, or How You Can Help pages or contact Adopt-a-Village by
E-mail, letter, or phone, to request information about additional children waiting to be sponsored.

Testimonies
“Luis’ letters bring us so much pleasure. Glenn’s trip to see him allowed us to realize how well Adopt-a-Village looks after all the children.”
Patti and Glenn Barber, Medina, Ohio

“What is important to us is that we feel we can connect so directly to our sponsored child. Our letters and gifts are hand-carried by Adopt-a-Village directly to Ana.”
JeRoy and Lorraine Carlson, Burnsville, Minnesota
