Eingepfercht zwischen Colakisten rumpeln wir an einem Kontrollposten der Guardia Civil vorbei hinein in Nebel und Nieselregen. Endlos erscheint die Fahrt über 5000 Meter hohe Pässe. Bis weit hinauf begleiten uns lilablühende Kartoffelfelder, dichtwoge…

My partner and I sponsored two girls one in Burma the other in Peru. It seemed such a coincidence they both had the same birthday, we overlooked that but when my partner was told his child had died and then asked him to sponsor a new child …with the same birthday again!. It all seemed a bit odd. We decided to pull out and sponsor children through smaller more reputable organizations. Its also nice not to recieving all that literature they mail out to you every week!

I have been sponsoring children/COBOSOL village project in Haiti for several years. I will be visiting there shortly just to get my own sense of how well the money is being directed. My understanding is that the child is the “hook” and that most of the donations go into general revenue to support the goals of the project (including paying living wages to the local staff. I have no great heartburn with that, but will be disappointed if the benefits to the children and family is as tenuous as described in other cases. We’ll see how it turns out and I will report back.

For those interested in the salary/compensation package for Mr. Stearns, the best source I can suggest is the Better Business Report linked below from 2009. His package of $433,000 compares well to the $400,000 salary (plus benefits) of the President of the United States. Methinks he could live quite well on say $233,000 and use the extra $200,000 to sponsor 400 kids!

I have travelled to Africa, South America and Mexico numerous times with WV. I sponsor numerous children and have for over 20 years. My personal experience has been excellent. The work ethic and credibility of the organization and staff is stellar. They are smart and committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus.
Have there been less then perfect situations I’m sure there have though I’ve not personally had any. I’ve recommended this organization to hundreds if not thousands of people and found them to be awesome in their desire to bring credible hope to the hopeless. This IS NOT A SCAM. Smile

I think a point that everyone who has responded over looked was the fact that they deliver vaccines to these villages.
Now, on the outside it appears as though they are helping, when it is scientific fact that the things they put in vaccines are absolutley with out a doubt harmful to anyone getting them.
I invite anyone with the idea that vaccines are good, to go to their pharamacist and request an ingredient list (which by law they are required to provide you with ingredients lists to any and all ingredients for any vaccines. Once youve obtained the ingredients, type each one into google and research the ingredients for yourself!
just one thing WV IS doing.
