She lives in Bel&eacute;n, Lempira, in <a href=\"\/our-work\/country-profiles\/honduras\">Honduras<\/a>, a country where many teenage girls <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unops.org\/news-and-stories\/stories\/a-safe-space-for-honduran-youth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">become pregnant<\/a> and gang violence leaves terrible scars. The <a href=\"\/sponsorship-news-stories\/packed-love-sending-letters-packages-sponsored-child\">letter<\/a> &mdash; from her sponsor, a woman named Angie &mdash; arrived at a time when Dassari was beginning to face her fears and discover her passions by participating in activities that brought out the best in her &mdash; but she just needed someone to believe in her.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[Angie] told me that she had started working as a teacher for elementary school,&rdquo; Dassari says. &ldquo;At that time, she was 21 years old, and I was 15.&rdquo; Angie also shared how happy she was to be <a href=\"\/sponsorship-news-stories\/facts-about-how-child-sponsorship-works\">sponsoring<\/a> Dassari, who felt inspired by their similarities.<\/p>\n<h2>Sponsorship&rsquo;s motivation<\/h2>\n<p>That letter gave her the motivation she needed. She joined several World Vision <a href=\"\/our-work\/how-we-work\">programs<\/a> in her community. Leadership trainings helped her understand that she was born for more than a life of <a href=\"\/sponsorship-news-stories\/global-poverty-facts\">poverty<\/a>, violence, and fear. Life skills trainings encouraged her to develop capacities in others. And her trainings in inclusion and community participation inspired her to dream of and work for a better future for her community.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Thanks to God I learned what I needed,&rdquo; she says, &ldquo;and I know that I still need to be trained in many areas, but I am achieving it,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;I am grateful to World Vision for what they did with me, with other children, and with the community.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>As she grew into an adult, Dassari&rsquo;s time as a sponsored child ended, but her desire for others to experience what she did has gained momentum.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There are other children who deserve the opportunity to take advantage of the teachings, resources, and support that World Vision provides,&rdquo; she says.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_90819\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-90819\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-90819 size-full lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"A woman holds a workbook, standing in front of a whiteboard that hangs on a scuffed aqua blue wall.\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2023\/03\/D155-0499-005-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2023\/03\/D155-0499-005-1-640x359.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2023\/03\/D155-0499-005-1-200x112.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2023\/03\/D155-0499-005-1-360x202.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2023\/03\/D155-0499-005-1.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-90819\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dassari teaches a math lesson to her students, who sit at desks listening.

She&rsquo;s passionate about encouraging girls and has had the opportunity to teach some of them by joining World Vision staff in <a href=\"\/sponsorship-news-stories\/child-sponsorship-helps-families-thrive-at-home-honduras\">other communities<\/a> to share some of the trainings that she benefited from years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I feel like I&rsquo;m living the experience that Angie did,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;Now we dedicate ourselves to the same thing, and it feels wonderful to know that we have so much in common. &hellip; I have come to feel that I have her close to me.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>While Dassari may never meet Angie in person, she has replayed in her mind many times what she would say if she could.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If I had the opportunity to meet her,&rdquo; she says, &ldquo;I would thank her for being part of my life, because thanks to her I was sponsored, I had my trainings, and now I am a person with values &#8203;&#8203;and principles.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Bringing out the best in others<\/h2>\n<p>Gratitude has a very special place in Dassari&rsquo;s heart for her World Vision family.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;World Vision means everything to me,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;It has been like the relationship parents develop with their children. It has been part of my life, of my family, the place where I was trained.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Dassari has already made a difference in her community, but she has even bigger goals. She plans to pursue a degree in psychology so she can better support the <a href=\"\/gender-equality-news-stories\/seven-ways-empower-women-girls\">girls<\/a> she&rsquo;s working with.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I want to listen to them, help them, know what they are feeling and know what they like, help them if they have a problem, so that the best of them comes out as light for other people,&rdquo; she says.<\/p>\n<p>It all started with a letter that created a bond between a girl and her <a href=\"\/sponsorship-news-stories\/child-sponsor-stories\">sponsor<\/a> who share the same passion &mdash; helping others achieve their potential.
