September 2007 Action Card

Action Card - September 2007

A rural child in one of China's poorest provinces works hard at his studies while the opportunity is there. He is fortunate as his education is supported by The Amity Foundation's Back to School Project where sponsors pay school costs for children whose families would otherwise be unable to do so. Conditions are poor and resources are few but this little boy and his family understand the importance of an education if he is to have any hope of escaping the poverty trap. For millions of other rural children an education is a luxury they will never be able to afford.

 

The ever increasing wealth gap between the city and rural areas is only adding to this problem so please pray for:

 

1. Organisations like The Amity Foundation which run projects to help poor children obtain an education.

 

2. That sponsors will continue to come forward to support this Project.

 

3. That the media reports all aspects of life in China, not just the staggering economic growth.

 

4. The Chinese Government as it seeks to redress the economic imbalances which hundreds of millions to a life of poverty.
