Handle with care
fragile!
Do you remember back in the old days when freight was sent containing glass, china and the like? The boxes were always stamped with the above text. Has it occured to you that this is also exactly how it is with small kids. They are fragile. They need to be handled with care. They need to be fed, washed, trained, played with, talked to, loved, etc. They need safety, care, and stimulation.

Both parents need to work, or there won't be food on the table. That is why the Wawa wasi as the day care unit is called in Quechua is so important. Here the kids aged 2 - 4 receive nutritious food, are taught songs, hear stories, play and develop their social skills through being with other children. Here they receive the stimulation and attention their parents cannot give them when at work.

What are the alternatives? Well, the young kids get tied to their mothers' backs and hang there for hours each day while she works. The older kids roam around until it is time for them to go to school in the afternoon. (age five and up). Homework is not so likely to get done and with that a learning opportunity is lost. Think of your child in that situation. Would you feel good?

What do I do to become a sponsor?
Simply respond to this article by mail, letting us know that you want to sponsor a child. You will then receive a registration form to fill out and return.
Next, we will register you as a sponsor and send you the name and a photo of the child you are sponsoring along with a sponsor number and payment possibilities.
From here on all you need to do is to transfer the monthly amount.
It is that easy! And it is that easy to be a blessing to a little child who needs your help!
As usual, we ask you to share this news with your friends, at your work, at your church, at whatever place you come regularly. We need as many sponsors as possible - as soon as possible.
We hope to hear from you and your friends soon.
Until then, Handle yourself with care and God Bless you!
