It's her school. Let her pay for it. It's not like she can't afford it. What does she make now? A measly 200 million a year? Yeah, she needs our help.

For $28 a month I can buy this from some nambsy-pambsy Christian group.

What specific benefits will my sponsored child receive?
As a sponsor, you give your child:

The opportunity to hear the Gospel. Your child will learn Bible verses, stories and songs that clearly present the message of Jesus' love and His redemptive sacrifice.

Education. This includes tuition, books and uniforms. But even more significant, learning to read and write means that a future of hope is guaranteed.

Nutrition. During the school day, your sponsored child will receive a healthy, balanced meal.

Medical care. The Bridge of Hope leaders who care for the child you sponsor will monitor his or her health and provide care as needed. Extra attention is given in areas where malaria or tuberculosis is prevalent. In addition to periodic checkups and medical treatment, children also learn basic habits of good hygiene, such as washing hands, trimming fingernails and bathing regularly.

Development of social skills and self-confidence. From the earliest ages in kindergarten, children are given opportunities to play games and practice basic rules of courtesy.


Everything but housing. Where does the $1200 go again?

You're right about that. Those Christian groups are dodgy. I sponsored a child once and they wouldn't let me send a copy of Alice in Wonderland as a gift because they said it was un-Christian.

Still, Oprah tries. She's a load of bullsh*t sometimes but she has does pretty awesome things, too.
