ACT SPONSORSHIP

We are now pleased to be sponsoring two African children through our ACT sponsorship scheme. Their names are Christopher Musonda and Joanna Sangweji. We have investigated ACT and believe that, through their scheme, the most amount of money actually gets through to those who need it.

Joanna is a 16 year old living with her mother and three brothers in Chingola in Zambia. Her father died from a stroke back in 1993. With our ACT sponsorship Joanna can now continue her education without further interruption.

Christopher is 14 years old and lives with his mother and ten brothers and sisters also in Chingola. His father died in 1996. Christopher has experienced continual interruption in his education since his father died, due to lack of funds, and again our help will mean that he can progress his education. Christopher's birthday was on 1st January and we sent him a football as a present.

Great thanks are due to the thirty of you who have joined me in this sponsorship scheme. Please remember that our commitment continues for a further four years.

If anyone is interested in further details of the scheme please speak to me.
