“Sponsoring students at Rising Star Outreach has “Sponsoring students at Rising Star Outreach has been the biggest blessing for my family and me. We feel incredibly connected to them despite being half a world away! It’s remarkable to see how our small sacrifices make such a difference in their lives. We love receiving updates, letters, and emails from them and are very excited about the live video calls now accessible. We are inspired by their tenacity and find it an absolute joy watching them pursue their dreams. It is extra special since those dreams are actually within reach because of the opportunities provided through sponsorships like ours.”⁠

"The light I felt came first from the simple smile "The light I felt came first from the simple smile of a fellow human being - of my brother there - and of what I felt seeing his smile in that seemingly dark place. I learned something from him and looked forward to returning the next day to learn more. I was also reminded of a lesson that I have witnessed again and again and which is most dear to my heart: that we all have a light within us that we can share to lighten the lives of one another. I felt that light that day, in a cold, darkened room of a leprosy hospital, thanks to the smile from a new friend and the determined courage of another."⁠
