World Vision Child4Child and Youth4Youth Initiative

Have you ever wondered what life is like for other children around the world?

The Child4Child/Youth4Youth Campaign encourages Malaysian children/youth to reach out to their counterparts from another country.

By sponsoring a child as an individual or a team, they will chart their experience of sharing their lives with a child in Singkawang, Indonesia. Through this process, they will learn about the issues faced by the children in less privileged situations and how help can be rendered.

Would encourage any of my blog readers to share with me any event that you come across. As long as the event/activity/initiative is education/charity/youth oriented and is not-for-profit, I would be more than happy to post it to share!
