GO IS AN ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO HELPING HEAL THE WORLD BY ENDING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY THROUGH CARING FOR CHILDREN IN A HOLISTIC AND SUSTAINABLE WAY.
THROUGH SPONSORSHIP, CHILDREN IN SENEGAL, WEST AFRICA ARE MATCHED WITH A SPONSOR IN THE US. THE SPONSORS PROVIDE A MONTHLY FEE THAT PAYS FOR THE CHILDS TUITION TO A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IN SENEGAL. EACH YEAR, OVER 40% OF SENEGALESE KIDS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS FAIL THEIR ADVANCEMENT EXAMS, PUTTING AN END TO THEIR EDUCATION - SOME AT THE AGE OF 12. IN THE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS, THE FAILURE RATE IS LESS THAN 5%. THE HIGH QUALITY OF EDUCATION THESE CHILDREN RECEIVE ENSURES THEM OF A FUTURE IN WHICH THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE A JOB, PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILY AND BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY INTO WHICH THEY WERE BORN. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPONSORS AND CHILDREN ENCOURAGES THESE KIDS TO SUCCEED.
IN MAZATLAN, MEXICO, CHILDREN ARE MATCHED WITH SPONSORS IN THE U.S. WHO GIVE A MONTHLY FEE TO COVER THE EXPENSES AT LOCAL FEEDING CENTERS WHERE CHILDREN ARE PROVIDED WITH BREAKFAST EACH MORNING BEFORE SCHOOL. FOR MANY OF THESE CHILDREN THIS IS THEIR ONLY MEAL OF THE DAY. NOT ONLY DO THESE CENTERS PROVIDE FOOD, THEY ALSO GIVE KIDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH KIND, TRUSTWORTHY ADULTS WHO HELP BUILD THEIR DREAMS AND ENCOURAGE THE KIDS TO DO WELL IN SCHOOOL AND TO PUT THEIR FAITH IN THE LORD. THIS GIVES THE KIDS HOPE AND IT CHANGES THEIR LIVES, EQUIPPING THEM TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY INTO WHICH THEY WERE BORN. A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR U.S. SPONSOR FURTHERS THIS HOPE AND GIVES KIDS A BRIGHT FUTURE.
GO ON THE MISSION TAKES VOLUNTEERS FROM THE US TO PARTNER SITES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES (SENEGAL AND MEXICO) TO FORM RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WHO LIVE IN ABJECT POVERTY IN THESE REGIONS. THROUGH RELATIONSHIPS, CHILDREN RECEIVE HOPE THROUGH EDUCATION, FOOD SERVICES, AND HEALTH CHECKS. ON OUR LARGEST TRIP, GROUPS OF TEENAGERS VISIT MAZATLAN, MEXICO TO PUT ON A SOCCER CAMP ALONG WITH OUR MEXICAN PARTNERS, WHICH REACHES OVER 1500 CHILDREN EVERY YEAR. THESE ARE KIDS WHO HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE AND IT IS TRANSFORMATIONAL, BOTH IN THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN AT SOCCER CAMP, AND IN THE LIVES OF THE VOLUNTEERS WHO GIVE THEIR TIME AND HEARTS TO BE THERE.
