We have sponsored our child through this great organisation. Our child is from Bahir Dar, Ethiopia and we sponsored her since August 2006. For her safety we don't write anything about her here.

We can highly recomend that you sponsor a child. We enjoy to follow her life with the two letters a year and happily send her letters and pictures as well. We never send presents since they never arrives and also make other kids in her village unhappy.

Child Sponsorship is a great way to help children in need. In return you can see the real impact that your support has made. It is a warm satisfaction of seeing a little girl or boy with nothing grow up into an independent happy person thanks to child sponsorship.

You can choose, from about 100 of the countries in which SOS Children works, the country in which you would like to sponsor by clicking on the maps at Child Sponsorship Directory, or you can leave it to the organisation to decide where the need is greatest at present. Some countries, such as India and South Africa, recruit sponsors in their own countries as well as having external sponsors.

If you sponsor through SOS Children UK, you help to provide a home and a new family for an orphan; you help give a future to a child without hope. Sponsor a child with SOS Children, and you will be helping orphaned or abandoned children to grow up in a family with a mother, brothers and sisters, and a home of their own. You will be able to write to them and learn how they grow up with love. You will also be helping the organisation to help other orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children and their families in the local communities. For £20 a month (the cost in the UK of sponsoring a child), you can help children who have nothing and no-one. Sponsor online here for UK donors.

"Love Makes The World Go Round"

Make love not war we say
It's easy to recite
But it don't mean a damn
Unless we're gonna fight
But not with guns and knives
We've got to save the lives
Of every boy and girl
That grows up in this world

[Chorus:]

There's hunger everywhere
We've got to take a stand
Reach out for someone's hand
Love makes the world go round
It's easy to forget
If you don't hear the sound
Of pain and prejudice
Love makes the world go round

They think that love's a lie
But we can teach them how to try
Love means to understand
Reach out for someone's hand
'Cause everything you do
Comes back in time to you
We have to change our fate
Before it gets too late

[chorus]

Don't judge a man 'til you've been standin' in his shoes
You know that we're all so quick to look away
'Cause it's the easy thing to do
You know that what I say is true

Love makes the world go round...

Make love not war we say
It's easy to recite
But it don't mean a damn
Unless we're gonna fight

[chorus]

La la la la la la la...

Make us happy/Gør os rigtig glade ;-)
