I had always wanted to sponsor a child but don't like world vision's Christian ethos. So, I recently sponsored a child at this school and I'd like to encourage others here to do the same if you are able.

Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.” -Christopher Hitchens
