Rosemary

Rosemary is now sponsored!! Thank you to Nancy Webb Kernaghan!

All of the children in the DOVE Missions program are sponsored by people in the United States or Canada. This payment of $30 a month goes directly to food for the sponsored child and their family, in the form of a voucher. Every month DOVE hands out vouchers to the sponsored family. They can use these vouchers at the grocery store and they are only good for food (no clothes, shoes, cigarettes, etc.) Many of the kids come to class hungry, and so feel that is the most important thing to take care of first, ahead of shoes and clothes.

That said, we have only ONE child in the program left to be sponsored! Her name is Rosemary, and she is 10 years old. You can read more about her and see more photos on her page, either by clicking on her name on the sidebar, or by going HERE. PLEASE leave a comment or contact Dove if you would like to be Rosemary's sponsor! She is a really sweet girl an her family very desperately needs these food vouchers!
