Avril Samuels
Avril Samuels is a primary teacher with a wonderful family and comfortable home. But life could have been very different for Avril who grew up in a very poor family in Bangalore, India.
Michelle Pettigrove
I stare intently at a photo of an 18-month-old baby boy grimacing into the bright sunlight. His name is Felix and he lives in Zambia.
The Howorth family
When our family of five from Seaforth in Sydney was planning a trip to Africa this year, we knew that top of our itinerary was a visit to Jenerian in Kenya, who we have sponsored for over ten years.
Jeremy and Bedlu
Going to Ethiopia and meeting Bedlu and his family has been one of the highlights of my life and something I would highly recommend to other sponsors.
Alda, Jon and Elizabeth
We had talked about a visit to Elizabeth in Zambia for a long time. Trinity College Colac has sponsored her for the past seven years, after the College's student representative council elected to sponsor a child.
Alice and Piraton
I have been sponsoring 13 year-old Piraton in Kenya for the past five years through ChildFund Australia. Last year, my mum Sue and I decided to travel to Kenya so that we could meet Piraton in person.
James and Viet
Two years ago, a company I worked for sponsored a child with ChildFund Australia. After seeing what a few dollars could do to the lives of a struggling community, I felt compelled to sign up for my own sponsorship.
Allison and Puttaraska
I have been sponsoring Puttaraska, a seven-year-old girl from Thailand, with my friend Elaine, through ChildFund Australia. I was delighted when the opportunity to visit her came while on holiday.
John, Carol, Kavidu and Ama
We recently visited our two sponsor children, Kavidu and Ama in Sri Lanka. Meeting both the children was a very moving experience for my wife and I, and it was most satisfying to see first hand the results of child sponsorship.
Jon and Ruto
The whole experience with ChildFund in Kenya was amazing. It was incredible to see such happy, young kids with so little possessions, but rich in spirit.
