YLA Student Photo Display
Young Living’s Regional Convention in Orlando, Florida was the place D. Gary Young Foundation launched our brand new Sponsor-a-Child program. Warmly embraced and well received by convention attendees, the DGYF saw 43 children become personally sponsored.
Convention attendees were encouraged to choose one of 139 students at Young Living Academy (YLA) in Ecuador. Many chose children near the ages of their own children or perhaps found an interest they shared, such as gardening, art or music.

Andrea Ollague, YLA’s Director, traveled from Guayaquil, Ecuador to be at the DGYF booth and personally helped each sponsor make their selection. Her intimate relationship with each of the children gave each sponsor some personal insight into the personality of their child and already a connection was being made.
Part of the ongoing connection between students and sponsors will be regular e-mail correspondence. These will become part of the education for the students by helping them learn to read and write English.
If you would like to become a sponsor, visit www.dgaryyoungfoundation.org. Once we receive your $75 per month commitment we will select a student and send you a photograph of them to keep. They will then send you an email and the correspondence will begin. Make the difference in the life of a child and be a sponsor today!
