  No more than three children from the same family can be registered in our Child Sponsorship Program, though each country may limit this to fewer children.

• Financial Accountability: How is My Money Used Each Month
  How much of the $38 I send each month to sponsor a child is used for the child? How much is used on fund raising? What does my child get? Where is the money going that isn’t going to the children?
• Foster Development, Not Dependence

• *This Man has AIDS: If you haven’t felt especially connected to our AIDS Initiative, this man may help change that.
• What is Want? (Understanding Want)
  Do you understand what real want is? Hunger and want are so unreal and unknown to us that we don’t even blink an eye at it because the want in the developing world is not personal to us.

• What Does Sponsorship Mean? (I Didn’t Think I Would Cry)
