My own SCS (Second Chances Sponsorship) program launched with the reunion of Estephanie 6 months ago, benefits 2 children now (Estephanie and Sandy, her niece) each having their own bank account opened with their mums being the guardian who have access to the money.

The program is designed for individual child and the families’ needs, and the funds I transfer directly into their savings accounts are only used for the intended purposes.

Just last week, there was an urgent need of one family to purchase an item we discussed about, but I later learned that the mum taught her daughter never to withdraw money from the account without asking me – out of respect for me.

Our true 'leaders' inspire me beyond the biases/assumptions we may have about or organizations which support them.

Thanks so much for sharing. I personally like Rick Steves - known for books and tv shows about travel - lectures and tv programs about poverty.

Hi Jeffrey, Thanks for sharing the links. I will explore Rick's journeys to learn his finding. It's interesting how different organizations tackle 'poverty', yet constantly adapting new ways to deliver 'child sponsorship' model.
