📅 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
