Yes, we welcome you to bless other children who are still waiting to be sponsored with a livelihood and nutrition pack. Your gift can be their first experience of being seen and loved too.
Thank you for your generosity! At the moment, the Livelihood & Nutrition Pack is only available for children in Sambour, Kuleaen, Antique and Bohol Area Development Programmes. If you would like to bless your sponsored child in another ADP, you may consider sending a Care Gift instead.
To ensure as many children as possible are benefitting from the Livelihood & Nutrition pack, each sponsored child will only receive one pack.
You may consider giving additional packs to non-sponsored children. Our colleagues in the field will prioritise distributing these packs to children and families who need them the most.
You will receive a Thank you e-letter from your sponsored child, along with a picture of what they received and how it is making a difference.
Your giving of $50 goes towards the purchase of four chickens, tools for rearing and feeding the chickens, delivery cost, as well as livestock and bookkeeping training for your sponsored child & family to raise and multiply the number of chickens.
We will try our best to match you with another tripper of the same gender and similar age. However, there are times where odd numbers may occur and if we may be unable to match you with another tripper to share a room. In such instances, you may be asked to take a Single room (with small top-up fee).
The trip is 5 days because we take into consideration the travelling time needed to travel between places. These places are usually remote, inaccessible and sometimes far apart from each other.
On the trips, we will be sharing with you how your contributions have impacted the life of your sponsored child and their community. We will have opportunities for you to interact with your sponsored child as well as visits to several project areas supported by World Vision.
We encourage you to book flights that allow changes in view of unforeseen circumstances which may lead to us having to change the trip dates or cancel the trip entirely. Most of the time, such changes stem from security matters arising from the political instability of the country. While it does not happen frequently but it does and has happened for some of our trips before.
We understand that some sponsors may like to extend their stay or arrive earlier for personal sight-seeing and travel opportunities. Others may also have preferred airlines. Hence we extend the flexibility of allowing sponsors to book your own air-tickets to accommodate these preferences. We will provide details on the meet-up time and location if you are arriving earlier. We will also inform you about the recommended flight - that is the flight that the Trip Leader, who is a World Vision staff, will be taking.
The in-country cost covers all meals, transport and accommodation. It does not include air fare, personal expenses or additional expenses on gifts for the children and community you will be meeting.
