Inspired by her previous trip to Cambodia, Adeline brought her family along to witness World Vision’s work firsthand and meet her sponsored child, A Chan, for the first time.

In November 2025, a World Vision sponsor Grace Ho travelled to Nepal to meet the child she had supported for 10 years. During the visit, she saw how sponsorship and community programmes are improving health, education and livelihoods, and experienced first-hand the lasting impact of sustained support on children and communities.

Dorothy Chong’s journey of Child Sponsorship began in 2010, inspired by a conviction to sponsor 100 children, she started small with two sponsored children through World Vision. Her story shows how small acts of generosity, faith, and humility can create lasting change and transform lives.

Through letters and shared dreams, Jia En, a fitness coach in Singapore, and Srey La, a young girl in Cambodia, discover the connection, courage, and the hope that bridges two very different childhoods.

Meet Davith, the 9-year-old girl from Cambodia featured on our Peace, Hope & Love: Gift Catalogue 2025/26. Her story is a small glimpse of what peace, hope and love can look like for a child when a community begins to change.

His story is a testament to the transformative power of compassion, opportunity, and the belief that every child deserves a whole, meaningful childhood.

Sponsorship, to me, is not just about giving—it’s about friendship. It’s about forming a real friendship. It’s about reminding these children that they are important, loved, and never forgotten.

Many of them might not have the chance to realise how beautiful their smiles are. I genuinely wished these pictures could remind them of the support, love and friendship they had from us if they ever come across any difficult times in future. This was my first mission trip but it would not be my last.

For millions of women and girls, water isn’t just about thirst – it’s about time, opportunity, and dignity. Every day, women and children spend 125 million hours collecting water.
