My son from another mother
Reva Meadows has been sponsoring her child, Bibek, for ten years. She shares touching memories of watching him grow up from halfway around the world and how he calls himself her “son from another mother.” Reva also shares touching moments from this year’s Nepal trip where some sponsors met with their children for the first time. There was joy, tears, and hugs all around!
Interviewing our kids: the greatest reward in child sponsorship!
Christine interviews our kids and gives them their sponsor’s letters and gifts. This is truly one of the most rewarding and important parts of what we do: we can track the children’s progress, hear from them about how they are doing, and see the wonderful sparkle in their eyes as they learn more about their sponsors! It makes for many touching and heart-felt moments.
