THE JOYS OF ADOPTING A GSA PROJECT

They say we, GSA project sponsors bring joy to many children. We harness the spirit of volunteerism. We empower the youth. We help kids to dream more. But little do people know the surprising return that we experience as sponsors. The joy when everybody in the community walk together. The joy when we see the youth win. The joy when we see them fulfill their dreams. The joy when we hear them say thank you. The joy when we share stories to our own children. We can go on and on about it, but there are more hopeful little ones that have yet to enjoy life in all its fullness and more generous hearts that need to experience this kind of joy.
