World Vision, CHCH News and The New Country 95.3 are calling on the residents of Hamilton, Halton and Niagara to sponsor 2,600 children from February 1 through March 15.

With your assistance, World Vision can help give hope for a better future to some of the world’s most needy children by providing things like clean water, food and access to health care and education.

CHCH News Live @ 5:30 co-host Donna Skelly, The New Country 95.3’s morning show host Lea Cater, and Hamilton Tiger-Cat Jesse Lumsden travelled to El Salvador with World Vision and saw first-hand how child sponsorship transforms a community. They also saw how much more help is needed. Throughout the campaign, these local celebrities will share their experiences with you.

The Hamilton, Halton and Niagara 2,600 Campaign is your opportunity to learn more about child sponsorship, and join the growing number of Canadians who are reaching out to a hurting world.

Join with your neighbours and help World Vision find new sponsors for 2,600 children by March 15.
