EARTHWARD

Sponsorship Program Launched

Turn your vision earthward -
      'Tis we must lend a hand.

            Samuel P. Putnam

So your kids have a GameCube, an X-box 360 and 30 games for each, and still insist they can't survive without a PlayStation 3?  And obviously it would be "like totally uncool" to be seen at school without their cell phones and iPods!  Think maybe some priority adjustments are in order?  Survival is no game for these kids (below).  They have none of the above.  If they DID have a Playstation 3 or an iPod, they would sell them in a microsecond for a chance to get a complete education.  Some other "luxuries" they often have to do without, are food, clean water, and medicine.  They can be your family's ambassadors, not only to a different culture, but also to a different perspective on life.  For $25 a month, you can give these kids some of the basic necessities of life, taken for granted by your own kids, and a chance to acheive the aspirations they have expressed below.  At the same time, you can give your own children an opportunity to learn first-hand, from children of their own age range, about a distant culture; and possibly gain a new appreciation for what they have.  Please see the sponsorship terms and conditions, if you think you might be interested in sponsoring one of these kids; and contact pr@earthward.org, should you decide to do so, or if you have questions.  This image will be updated with the text "Sponsored", whenever a sponsor is found for one of these children.  The full story of this family's long ordeal begins here.  To read these kids' complete self-introductions, please click here for the best view, then click below on the text balloons.
