“I sponsor Venosa because I realized my “lot in life” has been significantly determined by the simple fact that I was born in the USA, arguably the richest country in the world. I did nothing to earn this very fortunate situation. Granted I grew up in a great family with loving parents but so much of what was possible for me was because I was born in the USA. Equally the girls at MGRC did nothing to deserve being born into sheer poverty with little to no opportunity. As a sponsor, I can share a little of my good fortune with one other person.” —Mary Flieller
