    True World Changers by Tim Neet

    June 2013
    Christianity Today magazine recently featured a cover story asking the question What Can An Ordinary Person Like Me Do to Change the World? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Can I really make a difference in a world full of poverty and sickness? that declaration on the cover of such a well-known and respected magazine. And it gets even better. committed to giving back to their community. When we first began working in the desperately poor village of Karansi, Tanzania back in 2002 we sought out the best Child Sponsorship program that we could find to train and equip our staff. That program was administered by Compassion International. Working alongside them for several years, we were able to duplicate their values and process disciplines. However, by being focused into one village and the specific needs of the village children we were able to go far beyond even the normal Compassion Program. Take all of the benefits of the Compassion International Child Sponsorship Program, and then add to them a school with an excellent and Christ centered education, specially trained and encouraged teachers (with a less than 35 child per class ratio

    Project ChildA Solution


    Project Child brings rescue, hope and educational opportunity to many children in a very impoverished area of Tanzania - one of the poorest countries in Africa. Partnering with the Church of Karansi, we have developed an English based Christian Primary School, which for the first time is bringing a quality education to the community. The amazing success of the students is yielding true transformation to a village that had been decimated by poverty and disease, where hundreds of orphans, widows and others have previously faced a future with very little hope. Project Child is funded through a Child Sponsorship Program for children who are or will attend the PUNCHMI Christian School. This school has been totally built and is operated through Project Child. Sponsorship: Your Sponsorship of $38 each month provides your child with life -changing opportunities. It provides the opportunity to receive basic health services, medicine, two meals a day, clothing but most importantly an education and a chance to be encouraged, loved, guided and valued. In short, youll be giving your child a future and hope. For information on how you can totally change the future of a childcontact Tim Neet at [email protected]. All donations and sponsorships go directly to support these children and the school.
