Question: Have you ever met your sponsor child? Tell me your story now.
As I shared in yesterday’s photo essay, I have recently seen the work of Food for the Hungry (FH) in Ethiopia. On that trip I sat down and recorded this interview with Biniyam and his mother. In the conversation you’ll hear:
- Biniyam’s mother Bezuya share her story
- Biniyam share his dreams
- Me surprise Biniyam at the end!
- How you can change the world for a child in poverty
