💛 In this special video, travel to Rwanda with Jonathan Roumie and Unbound to experience the joy as Jonathan meets his sponsored friend, 6-year-old Emelyne, and learns about the impact of his sponsorship firsthand. 💌 This moment is the result of a simple act of kindness and generosity when Jonathan, best known for portraying Jesus in "The Chosen", became the sponsor of Emelyne, Unbound's 1 millionth sponsored friend last year. 🌍 Unbound partners with families around the world who are building their paths out of poverty through one-to-one sponsorship. According to Jonathan, "Sponsorship, to me, is being a witness to God's love in this world." 🙏 You too can be a witness to God's love through sponsorship. Sponsor a child and change lives, one friendship at a time. Visit Unbound.org/FindAFriend to get started today!

It’s still me, but 287 times better! ✨🤗 My journey of self-discovery and growth highlights my commitment to self-improvement and creating a positive impact. Through my own ✨glow-up✨, I aim to inspire others to embrace resilience, tackle challenges, and persevere through adversity. My passion remains the same: making a real difference—supporting underprivileged individuals, saving animals, and protecting the environment. But now, it’s even stronger with the influence and resources I gained from winning the Squid Games.

📅 As we observe the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, we are reminded that ending poverty requires more than just resources. At Unbound, sponsorship empowers families not only financially but through the power of personal connection. 💌 David’s 14-year sponsorship journey with Dhenry is a perfect example of how friendship and encouragement can make all the difference. 🗨️ "In some respects, I think the communication with my sponsored friends is more important than even the financial contribution. It tells them someone else sees them, they’re not invisible. They’re a human being who has value and is important." — David, Unbound Sponsor 📰 Read their story and see how sponsorship is more than just financial help. https://lnkd.in/gss6xsBJ
