We wish everyone who felt the call to help could fly to China and meet these children. It’s unforgettable how their faces light up when they swim for the first time or see the Great Wall. Or plunge down a waterslide, or dance to music they have never heard before.
But since it is impossible for everyone to get to camp, we have developed the next best thing.
We like to call it sponsorship.
And even though you may be a continent away in a different time zone, you will get the opportunity to connect with the child who benefits from your generosity.
For $125, you can send an orphan to camp on the other side of the globe. Full sponsorships include a phone call from the child you have sponsored; a photo of your orphan at camp; a dossier with their background information; and a copy of the orphan’s goodbye letter to his or her volunteer buddy. (Trust us when we say that these mementos are rare and precious!)
By the time your orphan calls you from camp, he or she will have experienced a couple days of what they have been missing for most of their childhood.
Additionally, $25 will underwrite one day at camp for one child. While partial sponsorships do not receive orphan matches, each $25 donation means that another child gets to experience a day of lost childhood.
If you are inspired and motivated, but cannot make the trip, please consider sponsoring an orphan or two.
Even if you can’t personally deliver the love and hope these children so desperately need, you can still help change lives.
