SPONSORSHIP means RELATIONSHIP!!!!

We have sponsored a young girl, Siphiwe, for two years now through Children’s HopeChest. HopeChest along with Adventures in Missions has over 20 Carepoint Sites throughout Swaziland, Africa. Siphiwe comes daily to the Bheveni Carepoint along with nearly 150 other orphaned and vulnerable children.

Not only does my family have the honor of being Siphiwe’s special friends in the US, I also am a volunteer with Children’s HopChest. I help match caring families with orphaned & vulnerable children who come to Bheveni Carepoint for help.

The Bheveni Carepoint is where the children receive food (usually their only meal of the day), clothing & medical treatment if needed, education & love because of the committed workers who run the carepoint, but also because they have sponsors who give $34 a month to Children’s HopeChest that sees to it these individual children are cared for body, soul & spirit.

I love the holistic approach that Children’s HopeChest (CHC) has within it’s carepoints. We really strive to create a community environment at each carepoint. When you give your monthly support, you are not only helping an individual child, but also the entire Bheveni Carepoint Community. We like to say you are sponsoring a community and mentoring a child. As long as the child comes to Bheveni Carepoint, they have access to food, clean water, a safe play environment, weekly lifeskills training and medical/dental help if needed. Also, if a child is unable to pay school fees, we assist with that as well.

Sponsorship is a $34 a month commitment, with the opportunity to communicate with a sweet, but needy child via letters & translation of emails by Children’s HopeChest. Please contact me, Danielle, to begin to change a life & be their HOPE!  daniellebrower@gmail.com. 

 

September 2011 Update

We recently returned from our 2nd trip to Bheveni Carepoint. We saw many needs among the smiling faces! And we saw more smiling faces than we expected! There are about 35 more children who have recently come to Bheveni! That means we have 150+ children who rely on Bheveni Carepoint for meals, clean water and encouragement. As the carepoint grows, so do the needs. Plain & simple, we need your help to meet their basic needs.

There are two ways you can help.

1) Sponsor a specific child. Very soon we will have the childrens’ pictures & stories for you to connect with. To the child, you are known as their special friend. I know for a fact that the child knows you & prays for you! For a family of 4 in America, the $34 a month commitment literally means eating out ONE less time a month. 

 

 

2) Be a Bheveni Community Sponsor.

A BCS gives financially & prayerfully to the Bheveni Community as a whole. With over 50 children currently unsponsored, there is a tremendous need to meet the costs of running the carepoint. Most of these resources will go to provide food & water for all unsponsored children, as well as toward any overall community needs that the in-country staff see necessary (i.e. if a specific child requires emergency medical/dental attention, or if damage occurs to the carepoint building, etc.) Individuals, Families, Churches or Business are all encouraged to become a Bheveni Community Sponsor.  If you would more more information on becoming a BCS, email me at daniellebrower@gmail.com

 

Won’t you be the change 4 a child’s life?
