Jamie is one sponsor who saw the results of his sponsorship when he met his sponsored child in Ethiopia. "For us, the decision to sponsor Mestewet was easy. Today, she is a beautiful, bright and healthy little girl from Ethiopia. Not long ago I was able to visit Mestewet while stationed with the Canadian Forces in Addis Ababa. As the CCFC worker and I arrived at Mestewet’s mud-walled, thatch-roofed home, a smiling girl waved and excitedly announced our arrival to her mother. We sat in the darkness of their windowless home. They had nothing except one table and a few mattresses. Yet in Ethiopian tradition, Mestewet’s family welcomed us and gave us everything they had – including freshly roasted coffee! I was touched to see my family’s photo in amongst their few belongings. My mother had sent Mestewet some photos and I could see how proud she was to show her friends the pictures of her Canadian sponsors." CCFC matches Canadians with children in need. Please donate now.

Twenty years ago, Zareinu started from the hearts of a few who saw a need to help children with a wide range of developmental challenges. The goal was to provide special chidlren with the vital therapies and treatments combined with an adapted education rich in Jewish teachings and traditions. Today, Zareinu has an excellent reputation as the only Centre of its kind in Ontario - a place where children receive all the supports they need under one roof.
