There are many different views of child sponsorship, I believe that it is important. For many children in the United States and internationally, they are living with less opportunity than most of us. By sponsoring a child it provides them and their families with new resources that they didn’t have before. Nutrition is an important thing. In places like the poorer villages outside the city, children can look well fed like they have full tummies; when in reality it is a sign that they aren’t getting protein and are not being nourished. Meat in countries like Rwanda, Africa is expensive for the people living in the village. Usually meat is cooked for a birthday and Christmas, if they are lucky. For some it is only served once a year rather than twice. By sponsoring a child you are paying for their food needs. For a non-profit like Hope Haven Rwanda, a school twenty minutes from the capital, Kigali, of Rwanda, Africa, they provide over a thousand meals a day for the students that attend. They get breakfast, porridge, and lunch, rice and beans or poshu and beans. Every Friday these kids get meat in there lunches and since they recently built a chicken coup that holds seven hundred chickens eggs are also added to their Friday lunch meals.
