Find a New Friend

The Christian Foundation for Children and Aging (CFCA) has a new feature at their Walk2Gether site! You can now view pictures and short profiles of children, youth and aging persons awaiting sponsors here. My favorite feature is the search form on the right where you can select a country, gender and a few other things. Obviously, all of the profiled people need a sponsor, but we love having our own friend of the same age as First Son. Though they are a world apart (in so many ways), they still experience many of the same things as they grow (like lost teeth!) and I feel it helps bring our friend closer to First Son's understanding. (I have a dream of meeting our current giving goals in a few years and adding a sponsored girl between First and Second Daughter from El Salvador, a country dear to the heart of my husband's family.)

Not all of those awaiting sponsorship are on the site, so do not be afraid to call or contact CFCA if you are interested in sponsoring someone.

While you're there, take a few minutes to read about Bob's walk!
