Default Sponsor materials for Christian Childrens' Fund

waaay back in the early 1970/s I was privileged to learn about the homes and children under the auspices of Christian Childrens' Fund. It was a Christian organization with facilities throughout the world, and in our own country, which provided an education, meals, clothing and a Christian education to children who would have nothing. In Third World countries, girls were educated (rare) and taught a trade (typing, sewing, cooking) which would provide them with an income throughout their lives. Same for the boys. Teach them to fish.... After learning about the homes, I wrote the advertising material which accompanied a sponsor's selection of country, along with brief information about the children available for sponsorship. Back in 1970, 85 cents of a one dollar contribution, went to the child. Amazing.
