Posted by on Jun 26, 2014 in Swaziland | 1 comment

While in Swaziland, Nicole had the blessing of not only meeting her sponsored children, but also getting to visit the homestead of one of them.  Homestead visits are typically emotional for an entire team, and Nicole shares her thoughts and feelings on this once in a lifetime experience… What does it mean to sponsor a child?  To the many it means choosing a random child from a stack and sending in your monthly contribution and receiving letters and photos from the child.  You never think...
