World Vision Family Challenge

We decided to sponsor a kiddie last night. That TV stuff really does work.

I'd been thinking about doing it for a very long time, but guess what, as usual I hadn't done anything to make it happen. And as I was watching the TV last night, and Tim Costello was suggesting that World Vision hadn't even reached halfway in it's target to get 5000 kids sponsored in a month, I thought, well, I'm not going to be the one that's responsible for him not getting his 5000! Luckily Marty agreed!

So, ever so easily, we went over the world vision website, and were confronted with sooooo many children in need of help. We really weren't sure how to choose a child to help, as there are so many, and they are just so lovely. So, we decided to sponsor a kiddie in memory of Granny, so we narrowed the thousands down to 10 littlies. Then we had to decide who to sponsor out of that. There was a wide range of ages, from 4 to 10, and both boys and girls. How did we decide in the end? We thought it would be the best idea to choose the eldest simply because older kids are least likely to get sponsored (not as cute, maybe?) and because it's possible (or even likely) that older children will have younger siblings. So they can benefit too. And the clincher for me was that the child we settled on loved to play with dolls. I think Granny would have liked that especially...
