It is easy to see how the children need assistance \u2013 they are unable to provide for themselves and are either from single-parent homes or orphaned completely.\u00a0When we look upon the faces of these adorable Sudanese children in terrible need, our hearts hurt, but we easily forget about the other people that are in need \u2013 guardians and parents whose spouses have died who are left to care for a number of children on their own. ECCSS has not forgotten them, though. One huge aspect of our VOC project is caring for the parents, as well. We are grateful for this holistic approach to ministry.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Parents and guardians whose children are a part of the VOC program have the opportunity to receive financial loans to pay for medical expenses for their children.
