SPONSOR TESTIMONIES
HEAR FROM ONE OF OUR SPONSORS
“We have been sponsoring children through Mercy in Action for many years. On a trip to the Philippines in 2012 we were fortunate enough to meet our sponsor child, Mary. It was great to meet her after years of sending gifts and receiving letters. She is in high school now and doing really well in her studies. It was wonderful to hear how the sponsorship had changed her life and given her the ambition to go to college and become a teacher. And finally in 2024 she did just that! Graduating as a qualified teacher and now working full-time. We now have a new sponsored child called Samuel and we love seeing his photos and letters. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for him. Sponsoring a child has been a joy! ”
HEAR FROM ONE OF OUR KIDS
I was only 10 years old and my friends were the ”supermix” boys who Mercy in Action were feeding. I came along with my cousin Lenlen because we were hungry too. In those days I didn’t go to school much and was behind for my age. I used to spend my time keeping an eye on people’s cars for them while they were shopping and I used the money they gave me for food or to pay for schooling needs. There were times that no-one took care of me. My aunty was always angry and my parents had no work. I never knew what it was like to have new clothes to wear or to know when my next meal was coming from.
I was so happy when I could go to school properly and then to go onto college was a dream come true. I graduated in Social Work in March 2025 and I am now a fully qualified social worker and have a very good job working for an NGO! Mercy in Action and my kind sponsor has done so much for me and I’m so happy and grateful. It has been hard sometimes to keep going when so many others have given up, but I wanted my family to have a good future and for any children I may be blessed with to have a better life too. College was very hard work, but I loved learning how to help the poor and having the knowledge that I can help change other children’s lives too.Thank you again for everything.
God bless, love Joanna
