The First KINDNESS KID to have a Foster Parent

...

JERIC JOSOL has been removed from the list of KINDNESS FOSTER KIDS because he has already found his Foster Parent.

We would like to extend our wholehearted appreciation to his KIND foster parent/sponsor. May the Lord keep you blessed.

You are always in our prayers.

Sincerely,

The KINDNESS TEAM

Purpose

KINDNESS, a ministry of our church geared towards helping kids of poor families finish their education, is looking for Foster Parents for about 100 of our children who will assist them achieve their dream of finishing their elementary and high school education (with a possibility of a College Education for those who deserve it).

These children belong to very poor families that earn between $2-$3 a day (some even less). Many of these children are bright and intelligent but their families, which can be as big as to include 4-6 siblings, cannot afford to maintain their education or educational needs. Although our country has a free-elementary and high school educational program the miscellaneous is not free and so is their daily maintenance (food, fare, ect.) and other school requirements (like uniforms, shoes, projects, etc.).

What You Can Do as a Sponsor
