Taipei, Dec. 9 (CNA) The 200,000th child has been financially assisted by Taiwanese people under the World Vision Taiwan (WVT) Christian charity since it launched its child sponsorship program in 1991, the group said Friday.
Through the WVT child sponsorship program, Taiwanese sponsors have assisted the children from Taiwan and 41 other countries and areas since the organization became instrumental in arranging for Taiwanese sponsorship of a boy from a poor family in India, which sowed the seeds for the sponsorship program.
The 200,000th child, sponsored by a military officer surnamed Wang who lives in Hsinchu, is a 4-year-old boy who lives in Cambodia, said WVT Executive Director Hank Du.
