Sponsors tell us they love the letters their children send, the strong bond that develops as they shepherd their sponsored children toward adulthood, and the sense of accomplishment they feel seeing the dynamic and positive changes that occur. Their words are a confirmation of our efforts and our programs.

• "I am very proud to be associated with Joyland. It's an organization that gets great things done."

• "For over 3 years it has been my pleasure to support Joyland. It amazes me that my small contribution each month makes such a difference in the lives of these children."

• "Sponsorship is an open door to give something positive and wonderful to a child."

• "Anyone can make a very important change in a child's life with very little effort, and for very little money, by partnering with Joyland and becoming a sponsor. After seeing it for myself, I can talk to people about sponsorship and let them know that it does make a difference, because I've seen it with my own eyes."

• "There were several reasons I chose Joyland. First was the focus on education. Second, they encourage you to develop a close relationship with the child, not just send money."
