While Poland has been a "shining light" of progress in the newly formed EU, the rural areas still struggle with economic delay making a quality education out of reach for many young students. By improving school resources in our host communities, rural children can plan for their futures...in the same way as their urban counterparts. The cost is so small, but the potential is so great when you invest in a classroom of Polish students.

Our Development Partnership: Global Volunteers and the county government of Siedlce, Poland have worked in partnership since 1990 to provide classrooms, books, school materials, and instructional assistance to the children of the Siedlce and nearby rural villages. Our host has chosen Cisie Elementary for assistance because of the economically impoverished background of its students. Here's where your dollars and your compassion can make a real difference. By contributing $42 monthly (tax-deductible) to the Poland Sponsorship Program, you become a prominent part of the growing, long-term success in these students' lives.

Here's How it Works: Each year, for the cost of just one small take-out pizza per week, or a monthly dinner for two, you can provide the direct support needed to secure the educational materials for the students of Cisie Elementary school. You have the opportunity to support the school each year until the students complete their education. Would you enjoy supporting a classroom this way? When you complete your sponsorship application, we'll send you background information about the students of Cisie Elementary, and update you on news and events in the village. What's more, by continuing your sponsorship each year, you can help the class grow and watch developments in the host community.

Turn Your Spare Change into a Lifeline: Use a portion of your discretionary resources to make a dramatic difference in a rural village by supplementing educational opportunities for deserving students. Then, join a service program and witness first-hand the wonders of people-to-people service. Now in our third decade of service worldwide, Global Volunteers provides you a direct way to keep the world's children in your heart. Sponsorship can be a meaningful project for your classroom, church group or community organization. You might also consider a sponsorship as a remembrance for birthdays or holidays, or in honor of landmark life occasions. Do you have additional questions? Please call us at (800) 487-1074.
