Child sponsorship
1. Introduction
It’s the 24th December; the people in the world are waiting for the miracle of Christmas. But there are lots of children, who are unhappy and hungry, who must work very hard, who don’t get any presents. We can make a miracle for them. The miracle’s name is the Child sponsorship. I want to speak about this program in my essay, why it is good and I want to persuade you to think about the Child sponsorship, too.
2. What is the Child Sponsorship?
Child sponsorship allows an individual, typically of a developed country, to sponsor a child living in a developing country until s/he becomes self sufficient. It means financially support the education, health or security of the sponsored child.
3. Child sponsorship process
If you want to “adopt” a child, you can do it in two ways. The easier way is via the Internet. There are lots of pages with this problem. You can read the information; you can see the photos of the children. Then you choose a child. Next you must complete the questionnaire. Then the organisation will call you and you will send the money.
The other way is by the Church. You can meet the priest and he can help you. Lots of parishes are engaged in these projects, they also have their own Child sponsorships. So, they help you with the questionnaire and they can collect your money and send it, too.
When the regional charitable organization gets the money, your child can go to a local school – s/he gets the aids, food, uniform from the school. Child’s parents don’t see the money. It is only for your child. During the school year, the child sends you letters with his/her photos from school and the school reports. You can send him/her letters and your photos, too. You can send him more things, but the mission centres don’t support this idea. It can raise jealousy in the other kids. Also the transport fee should be more expensive than the thing itself in the parcel.
4. The opinions of Child sponsorship
Child sponsorship has lots of different opinions. The opponents say that child sponsorship could alienate the relatively privileged sponsored children from their peers and may perpetuate harmful stereotypes about third-world citizens being helpless. They also claim that child sponsorship causes cultural confusion and unrealistic aspirations on the part of the recipient. Next animadversion is in selection – the help is only for one child, not for community.
The defenders of the Child sponsorship say it is better to help one individual thoroughly than absurbly try to help everyone. Such collective help results in no individual profit at all.
5. Conclusion
In my essay I eplained the Child sponsorship idea. I know I can’t help all those needy people myself. But I can help one child. It is a nice feeling to know that somewhere in the world there is a man who can read, write and count thanks to me. It is not important for him to be a layer, doctor or manager. But it is very important that he can find a good job, he can read his employment contract and count his wages. Nobody can cheat him. And this is the main idea of the Child sponsorship.
