Why do the children sometimes look healthy and happy?
Like families the world over, your sponsored child’s family probably made sure their child was looking their best for the photo even if it meant they had to borrow clothes and shoes from someone else! A child’s photo doesn’t always show their needs. You may even be surprised by how well your sponsored child appears. But children don’t have to be ‘starving’ to be suffering the effects of a lack of nutritious food. You can’t always ‘see’ when a child is small for their age, malnourished or underdeveloped in some way.
