YOU CAN HELP

What a difference a day can make! It's wonderful to know that the simple gift of a "back-to-school" parcel can help to set a child on the right path to learning... and a brighter future. We wish that every sponsor had a chance to see the excitement and enthusiasm of an SOS child, and we all think about those children on that important day when the school yard fills with shouts and laughter again each September.

You can help -- by sponsoring a child in our Shop and Drop program, by starting up a program in your workplace, or by making a donation.

Often, families will ask to sponsor a child of the same age as their own children. Shopping for an SOS child with your own children can provide an important lesson in compassion, gratitude, and charity in action.
