Zanai was our dear
Marta’s sponsor dream, when it came true she wrote her this beautiful letter.
"Dear Zanai,
My name is Marta I am
your sponsor since last year. I decided to write because I feel I have been
failing you.
You know life is
beautiful but, sometimes people make it a bit more complicated and hard. We
forget what is truly important – for me is giving (whether it is love, care,
support or sharing). Last year, after a difficult phase in my life, I decided
to fulfil one of my life’s dreams – to sponsor a child. I contacted ALG’s
sister charity UPG Portugal and I was thrilled when they sent me your picture
and said: please meet Zanai – your sponsored child! You are beautiful and you
have a wonderful smile!
I did not want to
choose between a boy and a girl. I told theM it could be either because when we
have a child we also cannot choose gender. We receive what God sends us. You
are a true princess. You are a dream come true, and you are very important to
me!
A big kiss and I will
write again more frequently, Marta"
Our sister charity
UPG Portugal launched the Sponsoring programme in 2004 with 50 children. After
10 years we support 877 children in the regions of Xai- Xai, Chongoene and
Chokwé. Each child is allocated to a Sponsor and has a secured access to school
and meals. Besides the material goods, the Sponsoring brings care and attention
to children in need.
UPG Portugal
sponsoring establishes a long-term relationship between the children and
Portuguese sponsors. To the sponsors it provides the feeling of changing the
life of a vulnerable child in Mozambique forever. A child who always knows the
name of his/her protector and feels the joy of being chosen by someone so far
away.
