| The Project for the People of Paraguay (PPP) established
it's child sponsorship program for their families in the Chacarita and Puerto Pabla areas
of Asuncion in 1994. In the summer of 1999 over 215 sponsors were making a difference in
the lives of their sponsored children and their families. |
 |
 |

Asuncion since its inception. This director manages the sponsorship program as well as

the child
|
| and the remaining twenty five percent pays for the
sponsorship program director's salary, part-time psychologist, part-time sewing
instructor, rent and utilities for the office and materials for sponsorship activities
such as parties, awards and incentive prizes. The sponsorship program provides the
following for it's sponsored children: |
 | Ongoing medical and dental exams and treatment, which includes
immunizations. |
| Psychological evaluations by social workers and psychologists. |
| Education in life skills. |
