MEANINGFUL CONNECTION
The friendship established through sponsorship is one that ACE seeks to nurture by encouraging correspondence with your child, providing reminders of birthdays, and producing special events to contribute towards. When visiting St. Mary, you will also have the opportunity to visit with your sponsored child.
We have sponsored children through other organizations but never had the opportunity to visit with that child. We love visiting our ACE sponsored child. The smile on his face when we show up is priceless! We saw pure joy as he showed us his awards from school. Besides sending monetary help we get to offer personal encouragement, monitor progress AND we get HUGS. Visiting our sponsored child and his family is one of the highlights of our ACE mission trips.
TRIP COST
There is an old proverb, “If you give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he’ll eat for a lifetime.” History proves that lasting change in a poverty culture is achieved by empowering the people to reach their full potential and become self-sustaining. ACE is invested in our community long-term and in conjunction with our partners in the US, we are identifying the circumstances of those around us in order to find real solutions for their unique needs.
