IFH, with the support of its sponsors, is already providing educational opportunities to children through its sister organization, the Sharana Social and Development Organization of Pondicherry, India, and through the local schools with which IFH works. Many disadvantaged children are now attending school because of the generosity of their sponsors.

"I am sponsoring a child because I know the personal history of the child whose education my money is supporting. I feel connected to his situation, his environment, and the benefits my few dollars provide. Supporting a child's education is one of the most needed acts of charity in our society today." - Sarah

"The best way I can teach my children about the importance of helping others is through my own example. With the sponsorship of a child in India, my children are learning gratitude for their own opportunities, insights into another country, and how to make a difference." - Ramona

"One of the best gifts my family has given me has been dedication to a good education. Through their commitment to my education (and my own hard work), I have had many opportunities. We are very fortunate to live in a country that provides so many ways for us to improve ourselves through learning. By sponsoring a child in India, I am able to pass on gifts that others have passed on to me." - Clifford
