Day of the African Child: Empowering communities through education

Martin’s story: A life of service and giving back

Does individual child sponsorship divide families?

Concerns over how unsponsored siblings may feel or how the authority of the parents might be undermined have been the focus of many anti-sponsorship articles.

Resilience and impact: Celebrating Asian Heritage Month

I have been Asian for over 25 years. In the many different seasons of my life, navigating my Asian identity has looked different as I’ve also fit the pieces together of my identity as a woman, Canadian, writer, daughter… and ultimately as a follower of Jesus. This most recent season has been a particularly striking […]
