L.I.F.E. Argentina 

Change a Life

With U$S 25.- per month you can to support a child with a daily meal, school supplies and clothing. Your donation enables them to have better opportunities and contributes to raising their living conditions and standard. This sum is for general reference, however some children have specific needs, large families or different situations in which other sums are welcome and needed. Everything counts and your help can change a life.

Please read Alessandra Laraud's words about why she chose to sponsor a child and Change A Life: After spending six months with the children in El Jagüel, it is hard to leave without wanting to keep helping out in some way. When you can't go and see them every week for English Classes or Birthday Parties, or when you are too far to personally interact with them, supporting a child by becoming his or her "godmother" is the best way to somehow remain close to the children and do something concretely useful for them. In my case, Viviana is not only the sweetest and most friendly little girl I have met during my internship at LIFE, she is above all a very smart twelve-year old girl that deserves all the chances to pursue her education as far as possible and to succeed in life. We all know that a little help from so far away will not drastically change her future, but I am sure that it can help Vivi at least for now in some aspects of her daily life. I trust LIFE and Liliana's work. I know that everything I send will be devoted to her and to what she needs the most at that particular time. I would really encourage anyone that wants to start or continue to "luchar para una infancia feliz y con esperanza" to sponsor one of the amazing children participating to LIFE'S programs.

Sponsor A Child

You can sponsor a child that participates in LIFE'S programs from where ever you may be in the world. By committing to be a "godparent/' you are not only supporting the child financially or with their daily necessities, you are also significantly impacting that young one's self-esteem. It is essential that the children believe that there is someone who thinks about them, cares about them, and is concerned with their well-being. In many cases, unfortunately, parents do not take on this role because they suffer from the many effects of extreme poverty. Some children do not even have parents in their lives. Knowing that they are "adopted" like "godchildren" makes them feel very special. Here at L.I.F.E. we sincerely encourage all of our volunteers to establish close relationships with the children we work with. This relationship can be sustained even when you are no longer in Buenos Aires through the Change A Life program. We know that this won't change the world, but we see how it can truly change the lives of precious young children who are living in poverty but deserve all the support and care possible.
