What would happen if kids got to pick their own sponsors? Now, the power to choose is in the child’s hands. For the first time, through World Vision you can be #chosen by a child : ) @WorldVisionUSA I can tell you firsthand that the work they are doing is important around the globe and here at home. Check out their website for more info. Worldvision.org

In traditional sponsorship programs, pictures of children in need are posted in a gallery. Families who want to sponsor then look through the photos to choose the child. In the “chosen” campaign, children choose the families they want to sponsor them.

“chosen puts the power to choose their sponsor in the hands of the child,” said Edgar Sandoval Sr., president of world vision U.S.

“chosen introduces children to the first of many empowering choices they will now have through child sponsorship, so they can become agents of lasting change,” Sandoval continued. “We are already seeing God move in miraculous ways through chosen.”

In addition to Hart, other celebrities have promoted the chosen campaign.
