One of my dreams
The thought of adopting a child has always fascinated me even when I was younger in my secondary school years. It was definitely in my to-do list as an adult when finances would not be such a big obstacle.
Now here I am… and that’s exactly what I want to do. No turning back.
And that’s when I found World Vision…
…the exact organization I needed to get my dreams going. What made it even better was that I didn’t need to look far because it was based locally and they supported projects that ran in countries just next to my own. Just what I needed.
It pleased me even more to know that it didn’t even cost as much as I had imagined it to be. What an affordable price to help a little child grow up healthily and happily! I’ll let you click on the link above to research it up yourself (if you’re interested, of course).
And I get to visit the child.
That’s the best part. I can’t wait to start signing up and getting to know my child. I will keep you updated on how this is working out for me. This is probably the next best thing to being a mother myself (which is far from possible at the moment).
The more I read and researched of their projects, the more I wanted to be involved in their humanitarian work. Soon. Hopefully. A Mission Field Doctor.
Now to apply for a good credit card….

Compassion International is also another organisation worth considering:

[...] finally have a ‘daughter’.. so to speak. Remember World Vision? Yup. They’ve assigned me an adorable young girl from Vietnam to sponsor. Imagine the excitement [...]
