I’m so proud to announce that we’ve added a new member to our family and I didn’t even have to give birth this time!
Elizabeth Halford Photography has adopted one child through Compassion International. Compassion is a Christian aid organisation dedicated to operating with the utmost financial accountability and integrity so when we sponsor these children, they really do get their needs. And after a year of faithful sponsorship, we will even get a chance to travel and meet our new little guy!
Compassion works to support children throughout their lives by opening ‘projects’ in regions where the children go daily for school, meals, bathing, clothing, healthcare, etc. The money Elizabeth Halford Photography sends pays for the needs of Victor in Equador so he can grow up with the advantage of education and health. {CLICK HERE} to see a video about the life of a sponsored child in India.
The thing I love the most about Compassion is that when the children are grown and they graduate out of their project, they regularly turn around and begin sponsoring children of their own because they have jobs and careers thanks to education. I recently met a woman from Kenya who grew up in a Compassion project. She made it to London and received her Master’s Degree and she is now returning to her home to save children just like her from the clutches of poverty, prostitution, hunger, AIDS and certain death.
{How Can we Work Together?}
The best way to support a child through Compassion is to adopt one. Or you can partner with Elizabeth Halford Photography. One of my favourite days here on the blog is Reader Photo Friday where you can email me your photo and I edit it for you. As always, this is completely free and I greatly enjoy the community with my readers. Feel free to copy the finished product to post on Facebook or email to your friends and family. If you would like the full resolution finished product emailed to you so you can print it as big and as many as you’d like, the cost is $25 and 100% of these monies go straight to Victor in Equador. The more popular Fridays become, the more children we can help so spread the word to your friends who enjoy photography.
If you’ve previously had a photo in Reader Photo Friday, I’ve still got them so please feel free to order if you’d like.
{Meet Victor}
This is Victor. He lives in Equador. His birthday is September 2005 (he’s exactly the same age at my Jack). He lives with his parents who are extremely poor. When he can find work, his dad makes the equivalent of only £40 per MONTH which is what I spend on my mobile phone alone. At the very young age of 4, he washes clothes, fetches water and gathers wood. He has 4 brothers and sisters. Daily, he attends school at the Compassion project where he gets schooling, medical care and a hearty dinner before returning home to his family. Elijah is already writing Victor letters.
Please sponsor a child or partner with Elizabeth Halford Photography to help Victor.
