“To Sponsor a Project such as Shelter Mozambique is a blessed opportunity,
given by God. It is the opportunity to serve, to love. It is learning, and it is rewarding. Sponsorship is a tool for insertion, nourishment, education, transformation, and mainly a lot of love. This all adds to us and contributes a lot to our own developing process”
Paulo Melo – Sponsor of the Shelter Mozambique project and Financial Director of FWB
