The Joy & Stars in Kenya - A Tripper's Reflection
Our trip was both enlightening and a stark reminder that the world was not created equal. We saw first-hand how World Vision’s Area Programme Vision of holistic transformation was put into action. Not only was there a programme to provide access to education to children, there were also separate initiatives on child protection, micro-financing, health and food security, provision of clean water, and environmental protection. The multi-faceted approach clearly lifted the lives of the community, and we were privileged to see it in motion. -

Memories from Visiting My Sponsored Child in Nepal
Meeting up with a “stranger” whom I have known for the past 8 years was a great highlight for this trip, being able to see him and have a face-to-face interaction to know more about him. During game time, I saw his father watching him playing with lots of smiles. Despite disrupting his work schedule and traveling this far for this meetup, I sensed lots of warmth from them. This is something that we may not be able to see nowadays. Will remember this trip and the things I’ve seen for a really long time. -
