Not every child will have the full opportunity that Richmond has had but every child that is sponsored will have far greater opportunity than those who are not. My daughter and I cry whenever we read letters from 'our' children. It is amazing the way lives can be touched by such a small amount - an amount of money that most of us would spend on eating out in a month or a new pair of shoes, can go to change the life of a child for a month. Waiting 4 1/2 months to be sponsored.... Words cannot express what seeing this video means to those of us who sponsor children.

He is truly an amazing guy, with a big heart full love for God and dreams on how to best serve Him. He was so interesting to talk with that we kept talking long after the event was over. He will be going back to Uganda to spend a month with his family at the end of May. Please pray that his trip there and back will go smoothly!
