I wanted to share in pictures why it is so important for each of us to STEP UP and sponsor a child...
Yesterday we visited a refugee camp that was established during the war that began in 1991 in Sierra Leone. This is a portion of a home where several children were living with their father. The Raining Season was contacted because the father did not feel like he could care for the children. Last trip here, Erica, Tina and the team went to this community and did an intake much like the one we did for Shariff.
They brought the children to The Covering, gave them food, love, a bed and shared Christ's love with them. Several people STEPPED UP and sponsored these children. For some it was a huge sacrifice. For some it simply meant giving up a couple latte's each week. Regardless, they checked the box and said, "I will Step Up! I will do it!"
Here is one of those children today at our hotel playground.
And here is her sponsor surrounded with their love!
And finally, look at what just a day at The Covering did for our little Shariff....
Please, take it from me, every penny is put to work here at The Raining Season! And who knows, maybe next year you will be the person here in Sierra Leone meeting your sponsored child!!!
