"To save one person is to save a world"
(Mishna, Sanhedrin 4:5)
From its inception, one of VeAhavta's most important goals has
been to fulfill its vision by bringing people together through
personal relationships. Only through personal relationships can
people truly understand what life is like for someone else, and
the resulting empathy becomes a fertile soil from which love
and community can grow.
In accord with this goal, we developed a program through which
donors can financially "sponsor" the children and elders
who reside at the Grace Care Center in Sri Lanka. Alternatively,
donors can also sponsor two of the other programs at the Center:
Grace Daycare and the Grace Vocational Training center.
Through the VeAhavta sponsorship program, sponsors do more than
simply donate monthly toward the costs of providing for the residents
at the Grace Care Center; they are also encouraged to become
involved in the lives of the residents - to write to their sponsored
children and elders, to visit them if possible, and - by doing
so - offer them the non-material support that they need as human
beings.
Sponsorship is an extremely rewarding experience for both participants,
and many people who start by sponsoring 1 child or 1 elder decide
to sponsor more after just a few months.
As a sponsor, you can build a close relationship with your sponsored
child or elder through letters and news updates, and learn about
his or her daily life and hopes for the future. You can even
visit your sponsored child or elder and see first-hand the difference
that your love and support are making in their lives.
So, want to make a huge difference in the life of a needy person
in Sri Lanka, AND enrich your own life in the process? Then please
