ABOUT OUR SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
When you sponsor a child with Empowerment International, it's personal. Your sponsored child is not just a number, we have a relationship with them, and you will too. Three times a year you will hear from your child. You are always welcome to write to them too, they really enjoy it when you do! As a matter of fact, you are welcome to meet them if you are in Nicaragua. By sponsoring a child, you are ascertaining that they have a spot in our program. Each year they receive school supplies, uniforms, shoes, tuition (for older kids if applicable), emotional and physical healthcare as needed, tutoring after school, home visits, access to all of our clubs such as reading, computers, dance, photography, soccer, art, and biking. These kids become a part of the EI family and feel they have a second home with us. As long as the student maintains our program requirements, they will be a part of our program throughout their educational career. It's no longer unusual for students to start at a young age in our program and graduate from high school or even enter the university.
Cristhofer Antonio
I live with my mother, my little sister, and my stepfather. I consider him as an exemplary and respectful father who takes care of me.
I like to watch TV in my free time. I also like to play football with my classmates and friends from the neighborhood where I live. My favorite class is maths because I like numbers, subtracting and adding.
My favorite food is rice and beans with cream. I like to play with the joints because they are very friendly. When I grow up I want to study medicine, I want to be a great doctor and heal my family when I get sick.
I consider myself a very cheerful, smiling, obedient, friendly child and respectful guy. I like to say hello when I walk down the street, and I love to share my toys with
other children who do not have a toy.
