"We sponsor a little girl, Lindakuhle Manana in Swaziland, and through the annual updates and reports are delighted to see how our small contribution makes such a big impact on her life and that of her community. Also, with three young daughters of our own, we find the connection very enriching for our family too, as it brings the idea of charity and fairness to life in our home. We are pleased and proud to be associated with Worldvision Ireland and would recommend child sponsorship to anyone who wants to 'make a difference'."
