Or An Orphan's Wish, the organization I volunteer with is having a sponsor drive. They are striving to gain 100 new sponsors for their kids in China who need special care. Right now you receive a cool t-shirt if you sign up and for each new sponsor the volunteer that referred them gets their name in a drawing for a trip to China to visit these precious children.
