Child sponsorship testimonial from Zimbabwe
This is the story of Marcia, who started sponsoring with us in Zimbabwe in 2010:
"After watching Zimbabwe's Forgotten Children on the BBC, I contacted SOS Children and started sponsoring a child in Zimbabwe last year.
I then visited a village in Harare when I was there over Christmas and I must tell you it was a wonderful experience, the work they are doing there is amazing. They look after children until they are independent adults. The tender love and care these mums are able to provide is very moving. I met a mum who had been working at this village for 27 years. Imagine how many children she has looked after. They also have a nursery school, infant school and primary school in their premises (everything is super organized!) and they help the local community. They also have good medical assistance for the children with HIV/AIDS.
I could speak forever as I was so impressed by your programme.
Marcia"
