"If anyone
gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little
ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth,
he will certainly not lose his reward"
- Matthew 10:42 NIV
It can be easy to take for granted that the children
in our lives have all the clothing they need, and more.
Their schools are held accountable for providing quality
education. They have choices in their beliefs, and at
a very basic level, have more water and food than they
could ever consume. In short, these special children
have all they need to shape their future.
We know that many children exist in a poverty we will
gratefully never experience. They lack the resources
needed to shape their future. For them, the future is
the same as the present: existence and survival amidst
hope.
In each of us lies a human desire to help. It can be
difficult to know how to make a difference. COPA provides
a way.
Through COPA, you have the unique opportunity to be
a cupbearer to a child of LaHoya or Bombita in the Dominican
Republic. By sponsoring a child through COPA, which
in Spanish means "cup," your gift of only
$15 each month will provide a child with an education
that will not only change his and her life, but the
lives of future generations to come. In the Dominican
Republic, education is compulsory but may children cannot
attend because of a shortage of schools, schoolbooks,
and the lack of suitable clothing.
