It doesn't take much to make a real and lasting difference in the life of a child. You can
change the world, for about a dollar a day. A dollar a day is not a big deal. Same as,
you know, investing for yourself. Once you start to get in the routine of putting
money towards something, you don't notice that it's missing. It's really easy to do.
It requires very little effort. There's very little sacrifice, personal and financial,
to make a really huge impact on a small child's life. I've been contributing to Plan for at
least 15 years, and I have never been steered wrong. My backgrounds Indian and i've really
experienced and seen what poverty can do first hand to people. I'm today in a situation where
I'm privileged enough, and a dollar a day can easily be justified towards going to somebody's
life that's going to make a world of a difference. I really believe in karma as well, so whatever
you give back, it comes back to you as well, so that's one of the reasons why I really
want to give back as much as I can, because I know it's going to come back to me. A dollar
a day can add up to change from your coffee run. It can be a little bit of change you've had
from your groceries put aside. It can be some funds that you know you get from a special anniversary
or birthday that you can put aside for your sponsored child. In fact, most of us have
so many things now, especially at my age group, that realistically, another tea towel isn't
worth it, so I'd rather have my money go towards a sponsored child.
A dollar a day may not
buy much in Canada, but it can make a world of difference to your sponsored child's community,
with enough food to eat, clean water to drink, access to immunizations and a decent education,
the children of today can become the leaders of tomorrow. If you've been waiting to do
something positive that will make a lasting difference, the time is now. Pick up the phone.
Call the number on your screen or go online right now. Plan has thousands of children
waiting for sponsors. You can connect with a girl or a boy, specify an age range or the
country where your sponsor child lives. Or you can simply allow Plan to introduce you
to a child who's been waiting the longest. Once we hear from you, you'll receive a photo
of your sponsored child along with information about your sponsored child's community and
country. This journey out of poverty is one that you and your sponsored child can share
together, through photos, letters, and regular updates. If you choose, you can even visit
your sponsored child to see how your sponsorship is making an impact. There is nothing that
a dollar can buy that is more meaningful than this. Plan to change the world by sponsoring
a child right now.
