Child Sponsorship Program

August 15, 2006

In many other countries, the cost of a child’s education is
not provided for by the government as in Western societies,
but is a cost that the family must bear. At Colegio
Bethel, the parents pay for a small portion of the child’s
education costs & Proyecto Fe sponsors subsidize the
remainder to give their sponsored child a high quality
Christian education.

Child sponsorship support is $28 per month and covers
expenses such as tuition, books, medical and dental
attention, uniforms, meals, teacher's salaries, etc. If
100% of the children were sponsored, there would remain a
short fall in covering the expenses to administer and
maintain the school. Therefore it is safe to say that 100%
of your sponsorship donation goes directly to your child's
Christian education. Special gifts, such as birthday,
Christmas, and family gifts are sent directly and in full,
to the sponsor child and their family.

The most important part of child sponsorship is the
relationship that develops between you and the child’s
family and the benefit of lifting a child’s self esteem as
you invest into their lives. The next few articles are

benefits they received as children who have been sponsored.
