Many of our supporters are not wealthy, but they
care enough to want to make a difference in the
lives of those less privileged. Many are able to
make an occasional donation, or sponsor a
child's education at £5 (or $8) a month. If you are
from the UK, download a Standing Order form
-- an easy way to give regularly. Regular
donations enable us to plan better.
Most of us have not had to pay for our own
children's education, but many in Pakistan do
not have the privileges we take for granted.
Could you now consider funding the
education of a Pakistani child who would
otherwise receive no education at all? Almost
half of the children in Pakistan do not go to
school. We know we can't help them all -- but
we have to help some! And more than that --
we want to provide a Christian education that
can give life both hope and value.
It is hard for us to understand that many Christian
families in Asia simply cannot afford to send their
children to school -- even though it cost so little.
But that is the reality of poverty. From our
position of privilege we can make a difference.
And we promise that Starfish Asia funded
children will receive a Christian education,
which will give them secular qualifications to
get a decent job, together with an
understanding of the Bible to prepare them for
life. |
